> "Undef development"? Does decoding of these non-base layers work or not? One thing is something being experimental (thus known to be working in at least some cases, even if not spec compliant), and another is enabling something we don't know if it's going to work or not at all.

Undef -> Under.

It works for INBL (independent non-base layer) bitstream, which is coded
without using inter-layer prediction and conforms to a single layer profile.
Apple’s "HEVC Video with Alpha Interoperability Profile” is this case from
my test, although Apple doesn’t specify it clear.

https://developer.apple.com/av-foundation/HEVC-Video-with-Alpha-Interoperability-Profile.pdf

Whether it’s INBL can be checked from vps_extension, which doesn’t get parsed
yet.

There are at least three ways to add multi-layer extension support:
1. Fully support inside hevc soft decoder, with inter-layer prediction support,
multiview and spatial scalability and so on.

2. A decoder wrapper, which has two or multi hevc decoder instances inside.
Only works for INBL streams.

3. Let user handle multiple decoder instances. Only works from INBL streams.
