No, that was not the case. There was a bug in the code that caused
detection to fail though (fix in r15216).
Main point against increasing this is that these frames will be lost for
non-seekable streams and very short files will not be recognized.

That does not work because there are too many files where the first
headers are broken.
A reduced value if such a code is found very soon in the file could be
considered though.

All demuxers can misdetect with format like MXF that allow random crap
at the start of the file, so should we now try to put all last? Seems
difficult to do...
And moving it below lavf is pointless, then we can just rm it.
How about a patch with a proper solution instead of just stating the
obvious?
