Ugh, that lookup system seems really bottom-up, you have to specify the
name of an encoder (not a format name) which then is converted into a
format specifier, which probably is used again to select an encoder.
In addition, some presets or whatever use the same option parser to set
the encoder with the name "ac3" instead of setting AC3 format...
Talk about combining the disadvantages of all possible solutions...
