Hmmm, maybe an idea, if these (mpeg4-specific) parameters are used for
h264 encoding, to either submit a warning or silently try to the
translate the parameters into h264 semantics as much as possible?
Currently nothing is reported and the supplid values are silently
ignored, which is imho very wrong, because the user (me ;-)) has no clue
what's going on!
