Attached a new patch that allows playback of all the files from this
thread and, as far as I could test, does not break anything else.


The patch has these limitations:
 - no multirate files with MLTI chunks
 - no mixed files (eg. MLTI for audio but not for video)
 - no MLTI for video together with non-ra audio (eg. ralf)
 - only DATA v0 (no v1, versions greater than 1 should not exist)
Behaviour in these cases is undefined, for some of them a warning is
printed. If such perverted files really exist in the wild I will
implement some workaround.

Also video MLTI files with only one stream are supported but untested
(I used the same behaviour as audio in 06.rm), if you have samples
please post them.


In all my samples there is only one audio and one video stream, even if
the header announces many of them.
If you let Mplayer autoselect the streams it will do the right thing;
if you force -aid or -vid by hand you may end up with a non-existing
stream (nothing is played).


Ciao,
 Roberto
