I don't know if a hexdump would be any good, but standard practice when
there's a file which isn't supported is to treat it as a bug report -
i.e., request for the problematic file (or a cut-down sample sufficient
to reproduce the problem) to be uploaded to
ftp://upload.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/incoming/ (write-only), with an
accompanying text file explaining what the problem is.
