Easy.  This is not personal.  Everybody around here wants to have the
correct solution.  But right now FFmpeg seems to be able to decode all
files that we know of (maybe more by accident than by design, but it
works).

So if you want to see your patch merged, do the following: Resend your
patch in a new thread with an explanation of why it is an improvement
(the current thread is so crowded with different patches that I think
everybody lost track already) and provide us with a sample that
illustrates the problem.
