Some (long) time ago, the decoder used to choose a format based on its
ability to produce audio samples; currently it just checks that the format
accepts to open the file. At some point we should check why this changed;
I suspect that I did it in order to lower the computation burst on track
changes.
We should make a careful choice here, and either restore the original code
or get rid of the stupid current code who opens, closes and re-opens the
decoder: re-opening was only needed some samples were consumed in the
first instance.
Also, Romain wants to introduce a more complex scheme for the order of
decoding attempts. Currently, the most recently added formats are
attempted last. Hence, there is a high risk that the MP3 decoder accepts
everything and doesn't leave a chance to external decoders added in liq
scripts. We could reverse this order, but then mplayer would always be
first... is this bad?
