the great MPlayer tab removal: part I

encoded data is stored in a media file format that MPlayer doesn't
understand, then you will either need to somehow convert the format to a
media file format that the program does understand, or write your own
MPlayer file demuxer that can handle the data. Writing a file demuxer
is beyond the scope of this document.
	Try to obtain media that stresses all possible modes of a
decoder. If an audio codec is known to work with both mono and stereo
data, search for sample media of both types. If a video codec is known to
work at 7 different bit depths, then, as painful as it may be, do what you
can to obtain sample media encoded for each of the 7 bit depths.
