Is there a use case that could be interesting to us?

Or a bug you want to tell us about?

As Michael said, yes.
Note that some containers (like H.264 Annex B or ADTS) correspond
to a codec, so for containers that "allow" random codecs (like mpeg
streams) the same probe functions that allow detecting formats can
be used to detect codecs.
