Well, I see no reason why it would not be do-able, at the codec, demux or 
access level, depending on the implementation detail.

However, I wonder whether it makes any sense: Whether streaming or storing, 
lower-layer checksums resp. error correction mechanism will make upper-layer 
error correction impossible resp. redundant.

What is the expected use case?
