I figured that's what it was doing.  I'll do the same for lavf, since such
files are obviously being created, valid or not.  Strictly speaking, they
are valid, since the spec says nothing about the contents of private_stream_1,
hence the name.  I still consider it useful if we can detect common uses of
it, such as the DVD substreams for audio and subtitles.
