Yes, I know. The demuxer is fairly straightforward and I am looking into 
RE-ing the binary codec, but I'm constantly getting sidetracked. I need to 
find the spirit and some time to work on it for a while without being 
distracted.

Yes, I agree. As long as there are things that are unacceptable for 
inclusion in lav*, which will probably be forever.

I agree with that too. That's why my last two demuxers for lavf were written 
from scratch to avoid any GPL tainting.
