"codec not currently supported in container" missing documentation

Description

FFMPEG seems to be missing documentation about which audio/video formats can be muxed into which containers

for example, muxing an (HE)AAC/AC3/DTS/MP3/VORBIS audio track into MP4 works fine
however, muxing a FLAC audio track into MP4 fails with "codec not currently supported in container".

is there any information which audio formats can be muxed into MP4 in special or which audio/video formats can be muxed into which containers in general?

i dont think there is an official list either. apple does not produce one.
so its up to each codec to decide if they are to be stored in mp4 or not, and then they set the packet size and isom tag and metadata.

I believe that such a list is outside the scope of FFmpeg development.
