Injecting/Inserting/Adding H.264 SEI

I would like to embed data into an H.264 stream using User data unregistered SEI messages. What is the easiest or proper way to achieve this in GStreamer?

I found this commit. It inserts SEI messages (of another kind) into the H.264 NAL stream by modifying a GstBuffer, employing a GstByteReader to find a NAL start code etc. I find this quite low level and was hoping to find an easier solution, using GstH264Parser.

Ideally, my data would be added to the RAW video frames using GstMeta before encoding. I would then put another element after the encoder to take my GstMeta data and embed it as SEI messages.

Using appsrc and funnel element. Generating SEI and injecting it into appsrc. The whole pipeline is as below.

gst-launch-1.0 funnel name=f \
appsrc ! video/x-h264, stream-format=byte-stream, alignment=au ! queue ! f. \
videotestsrc is-live=true ! x264enc ! video/x-h264, stream-format=byte-stream, alignment=au, profile=baseline ! queue ! f. \
f. ! queue ! h264parse ! video/x-h264, stream-format=byte-stream, alignment=nal ! filesink location=dump.h264
