I don't think that's how it should work. Extra data should not change; 
it is primarily intended for out-of-band codec parameters (such as SDP 
fmtp field for RTP). Muxers and RTP stream output would not cope with 
changing extra data, and probably not all decoders either. How would the 
decoder even know that it needs to reread the data?

It seems to me that you are trying to have the packetizer match bugs in 
your decoder.
