mencoder will from then on also use the more sensible behaviour
of mplayer, i.e. if the output of decoder+filter chain is
s16 it will try to encode as s16, if it is float it will try
to encode as float etc.
Which means that you can also chose between the fixed-point
and floating-point AC-3 encoder via -af format=s16ne and
-af format=floatne.
If the format is not supported, it will fallback to s16.
