Comment (by Alexander):

 Ok, I was wrong and there are really
 {{{
 Auto-inserting h264_mp4toannexb bitstream filter
 }}}
 messages in logs. But still AVFMT_FLAG_AUTO_BSF flag doesn't work for me
 and I must create bitstream filter by hands :(

 I use ffmpeg library API, converting mp4 files to HLS playlist without
 decoding/encoding frames, only demux/mux. My workflow:
 1. Create AVFormatContext with avformat_alloc_output_context2 and 'hls' as
 format
 2. Create streams in it with avformat_new_stream(format_context, codec);
 3. Open streams with:
 {{{
 AVCodecContext *codec_context = avcodec_alloc_context3(codec);
 // setup codec_context here
 avcodec_parameters_from_context(stream->codecpar, codec_context);
 avcodec_open2(codec_context, codec, NULL);
 }}}
 4. Set flag
 {{{
 format_context->flags |= AVFMT_FLAG_AUTO_BSF
 }}}
 5. Begin write with avformat_write_header(format_context, NULL);
 6. Begin standard loop with av_read_frame and av_interleaved_write_frame.
 Currently, on the last step I apply 'h264_mp4toannexb' manually. I'd like
 to use auto-insert instead. but it doesn't work for me.
