We'd like to implement a new webm demuxer in rust to replace nestegg.

There are been some issues adapting nestegg to support the MediaSource Extensions API. With that experience we expect to be able to design a new demuxer library that better meets our needs.
Mass change P2 -> P3
Priority: P2 → P3

Ralph, would rust-av's matroska project cover this?

Deian is also looking at wasmboxing nestegg.

nestegg's API isn't suitable for a post-MSE world, so while there's some value in wasmboxing the existing library, that's not really where we want to end up.

Wasmboxing it will probably only take a day or so, so unless we have near-term plans for the Rust rewrite, it's still likely worth doing.

:erahm that looks like a good place to start, since it's following the draft RFC. I notice the readme disclaims support for VP8/9 so some work to support those (and possibly the webm doctype) is probably necessary.
