Fix the ogg fourcc nightmare!!! The problem: once upon a time, windows idiots decided to try to store vorbis-in-ogg-in-avi. Of course this failed miserably, but they used the audio format tag 0xfffe for "extended" to do this. Later someone working on MPlayer somehow decided 0xfffe was the format for vorbis, which is nonsense, and now that's conflicting with real wav files with extended audio format. This patch changes demux_ogg (and mkv) to use sane fourcc's for vorbis and theora and gets rid of the 0xfffe nonsense so hopefully wav files with extended audio will work now. If there are problems, we'll have to find workarounds...and drive an 18-wheeler full of cola thru the house of whoever wrote this 0xfffe nonsense in MPlayer to begin with...

## Reading the MPlayer Documentation ##
#######################################

Thanks for reading MPlayer documentation !!!


1. For "release" version users (i.e. non-CVS):

   a, Enter the HTML/ directory, and there you'll find the documentation,
      each language in its own subdirectory.

   b, If you prefer reading the documentation as a single big file it 
      can be found in the HTML-single/ directory, each language in its 
      own subdirectory.

   c, If the HTML/ or HTML-single/ directories don't contain your language, 
      try the subdirectories in this very same folder.


2. For "development" version users (i.e. CVS or CVS snapshots):

   a, Enter the xml/ directory, and read the README file there to find
      out how to build a HTML version of the XML documentation. It will
      be created in the HTML/ and HTML-single/ directories.

   b, If the xml/ directory doesn't contain your language, try the
      subdirectories in this very same folder.
