[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] missing marker bit

[Ivan Kalvachev]

Rejected.

You have not provided sample(s).

How could you be sure that only the marker bit is broken?
After all it is the only check for this header.

If only the beginning is broken then mplayer should advance until
it finds good header. 
If the samples are encoded with bad encoder, then I'm sorry for you.

Wish You Best
