    /* The payload structure is supposed to be straight-forward, but there are a
     * couple of edge cases to be tackled and make things very complex.
     * These are mainly due to:
     * - the OBU element size being optional for the last element, but MANDATORY
     *   if there are more than 3 elements
     * - the size field of the element is made up of a variable number of
     *   LEB bytes
     * - the latter in combination with the desire to fill the max packet size
     *   could cause a catch22
     * - if there's less than 2 bytes remaining (depending on the required LEB),
     *   one would not have space for the payload of an element and must instead
     *   start the next packet
     * - if there's less than 3 bytes remaining, the header byte plus the
     *   optional extension byte will not fit in the fragment making the
     *   handling even more complicated
     * - as some OBU types are supposed to be filtered out, it is hard to decide
     *   via the remaining length whether the outputted OBU element will
     *   actually be the last one
     *
     * There are two major ways to tackle that: Pre-parsing of all OBUs within a
     * frame (adds memory complexity) or lazy copying of the prior element.
     * Here, the latter is implemented.
