Sample encryption support is already planned.
IV pass isn't sufficient as some encryption methods provide IV per
sample, or segment.
You'll need to configure decryption on es using ES control (decryption
modules will be handled before decoder), and provide per sample parameters.

See the discussion about ancillary.
