Hello,

However long this patch is, it is also mostly useless: the standard does 
NOT support multiple distinct tref tags. Instead it supports multiple 
references for one or zero trefs, which is what FFmpeg already supports.

I will introduce a patch that instead just adds the ability to set the 
track reference type and add track references. The side packet API does 
not need to change as far as I can see.
