Well, MPlayer would first set the "id/fourcc" to e.g. CAVS, and then map
that to the codec.
The problem here only was that with demux_lavf it relies on some
libavformat stuff to set the "fourcc", which the author obviously
thought to be for this use but (according to you) is not.
Splitting the codec_bmp_tags in two parts with one located in
MPlayer's demux_lavf.c would probably be two lines of code, but I don't
like what seems to me "let's decide at random which ids go into
codec_bmp_tags and which don't".

Of course that is one useless step if you only want to support
libavcodec (or at least only one codec per format).
