It's mostly about getting something more specific than whether it makes
sense.
Well, so far I think we can agree that
1) audio fourccs should go.
2) duplicate tags should be avoided if possible (though this should not
be relevant for the MPlayer part of the discussion).

I on the other hand was mostly thinking of completely new formats, like
all of those game formats, that do not usually appear in AVI.
E.g. if the line
vst->codec->codec_tag = MKTAG('R', 'J', 'P', 'G');
was removed from nuv.c (which it probably should), then should an entry
for it be added to riff.c? MPlayer has long supported that format in avi I
think, but I have no idea how common it is.
I would tend towards: better clutter the table a bit and support more
formats however rare than having a cleaner table.
