I believe there have been some use-cases, especially around
closed-captions, where multiple blocks of the same type have been
used, somehow. Since this is really an API change, not sure its such a
good idea.

I guess it may be too late to change the behavior. Whether keep the current
behavior or not, remove_side_data is broken. It can remove multiple side data
and miss a few.

It can be fixed in two different ways:

1. Remove the first side data of the supplied type, like get_side_data().
2. Remove all side data of the supplied type.

The first solution match current documentation.

I am not sure, all our API around side data (get/remove) is based on the 
assumption that a single entry of a type exists. Also for packet/stream 
side data it is already assumed as far as I see. So at least for the sake 
of consistency it should be the same way. Maybe we should print a 
deprecation warning if something adds multiple side data of the same type. 
And later sometime it can be changed to actually replace the old side 
data.

Yes.

I don't see why the 2nd would contradict docs:

/**
  * If side data of the supplied type exists in the frame, free it and remove it
  * from the frame.
  */

So I'd vote for 2), which removes all side data of the specified type.

APIchanges says (if it counts as part of the documentation):

2014-02-24 - 3e1f241 / d161ae0 - lavu 52.69.100 / 53.8.0 - frame.h
  Add av_frame_remove_side_data() for removing a single side data
  instance from a frame.

I guess that can be iterpreted that way, still I'd go for 2).

In respect to adding side data when the same type already exists,
it may be more robust to error out in such a case instead of replacing.

Also we may handle deprecation in a type specific manner
In cases where a duplicated type makes semantically no sense and also doesnt
occur it could possibly be considered an error immedeatly
Only cases where it makes sense or does actually happen need a deprecation
period i think. That is if someone wants to implement this at such a
fine grained level ...

I like the idea of error out.

It’s hard to tell which types actually been used with multiple entries.
