yes it is. Wim's code adds channel mask support which is a separate
enhancement. without the modified patch, all waveextensibleformat subformat
codec ids other than 0x1 0x3 0x6 0x7 0x2000 will fail to get a decoder. i think
that these formats are highly uncommon but alas, the reason i did the original
patch was because i had an oddball avi

i've generated another patch that applies cleanly to master. in it i've also
shifted the original AC-3 support case (0x2000) to the AC-3 spdif (0x0092) case
to ensure that that also gets a default decoder. the AC-3 spdif case could be
removed completely as it would fall through to the generic catch all support
that this patch adds, however, it looks like that subformat case has been
explicitly marked for further work by somebody so it should be left as a
placeholder ..but in the mean time lets still ensure it gets a decoder instead
of just failing

please shout if you have any doubts on what i've done ..i certainly don't claim
to be an expert in either C / gtk or gstreamer
