As you said so, I rechecked the H.264 grammar.

...
  slice_header( )
  slice_data( )
...

There is lot of variable size items in the slice_header() syntax and no padding
bits. And no padding at the start of any of the slice_data types. So no, the
slice_header() syntax in H.264 is not byte aligned like you are claiming here.
Its important to be super accurate about these things, as it will cause errors
to be made. Please always double check.
