there would be a png probe function, a pngpipe probe function a
bmp probe function but no bmppipe probe function
the user could force a specific format like she does for any other
format "-f bmppipe" same as in "-f avi"

most likely the png_probe() and pngpipe_probe() would call a common
function similar to how ac3 and eac3 do it currently

this shouldnt be messy at all
