WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE 65534/0xFFFE

http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/vlc__codecs_8h_source.html:424
is interesting, making it sound like anybody can dump their own proprietary id
in there. however the spec on the MS states that it should only be used to
extend the waveformat format, and has examples whereby the subformat enum ids
match the corresponding waveformat ids directly. this seems more sensible

http://code.google.com/p/sharpdx/source/browse/External/gccxml/share/gccxml-0.9/vc11/overrides/shared/mmreg.h?r=730c5ff598dc859822453a48e4d6805fe655d353

the above is a relevant (and fairly recent) window header. 8196/0x2000
references 'WAVE_FORMAT_DVM' / FAST Multimedia AG which 'everywhere else' on
the web states is just A52/AC3. queue the attached patch which stops my
troublesome file (sample attached) falling through to receive the
'audio/x-avi-unknown' type, and thus having no available decoder. no decoder =
no sound

cheers
