Looks pretty cool. After checking out spec.md, one thing I might suggest is using UUIDs for external codec ids. There's a lot of codecs/formats out there, and limiting to a u8 might lead to collisions.
It might also be nice to provide a mechanism to advertise the required codecs toward the beginning of the stream, in case the consumer does not have the necessary codecs and wishes to abort the transfer.
