The proper fix would of course be for mplayer to use codec_id instead
of codec_tag to choose decoder.  Well, it's ugly enough as it is, so I
don't object to adding this to the hack.  That said, I'd be grateful
to whomever could find the person responsible for this lunacy in the
first place, and shoot him.
