Introduce a new packet type, a "session" packet, containing metadata about the encoding session. It is used only for the video stream, and currently includes the video resolution.
For illustration, here is a sequence of packets on the video stream:
This metadata is not strictly necessary, since the video resolution can be determined after decoding. However, it allows detection of cases where the encoder does not respect the requested size (and logs a warning), even without decoding (e.g., when there is no video playback).
Additional metadata could be added later if necessary, for example the actual device rotation.
