[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] ignore bad lavf mp4a tag

[Reimar D?ffinger]

Hello,
since obviously nobody wants to fix the codec_tag-is-always-mp4a for mp4
files in lavf (some even arguing it makes sense) and I've had enough of
those useless codec_tag discussion (make even more annoying since it is
not exactly documented what it is supposed to do), attached patch just
ignores this tag in demux_lavf.
I will apply unless some other fix for it is applied within three days.
Does someone know what happened to the samples? I can't find them on
mphq anymore?? I will upload one if necessary.

Greetings,
Reimar Döffinger
