Fixes regression introduced in 39f7620d76c7a133535ed7a535f7a74fefa6e435.

Not setting default sample_fmt can result in failed transcode when audio
stream starts later in a file.


I don't agree with this.


Letting decoders set their output format based on stream data is standard
behavior and we have options to increase to probe size and analyze duration
to accommodate badly muxed files.

Having the wrong sample format can result in different awkwardness, instead
of waiting until we have a correct one, especially with recent approaches
to limit stream parsing as much as possible, where it might not even try to
fix it anymore during probing.

Maybe FFmpeg should be fixed to just assume whatever standard sample format
if none is set and insert a converter if needed then.
