Obviously, there's no way to be completely correct here - we'll either be wrong
with files that have the right PAR in the codec data, or we'll be wrong with
files that have the right PAR in the container. 

I _think_ it's done the current way because our experience was that files with
the correct PAR in the codec data are much more common - so we don't want to
use the container's PAR if the codec provides one. I think there are already
some exceptions to this in some of the decoders (e.g. if the container
specifies a non-square PAR, and the codec has a square PAR, then use the
container PAR).

So in general I don't think we want to do this, but there may be some
reasonable heuristics you could come up with to fix some files?
