As discussed before, the lavf demuxer in libmpdemux will break when
this patch is applied. This is because the codec_tag that is read from
the dvr-ms file's audio stream header is not reliable. ffmpeg doesnt
have a problem with this as long as the codec_id has been set
correctly but the lavf demuxer currently needs the codec_tag to either
be correct, or else set to '0'.

So, if I change the asf.c code that reads the stream header to the
following it works in both ffmpeg and maplayer:

get_wav_header(pb, st->codec, type_specific_size);
if (is_dvr_ms_audio) {
    // codec_id is unreliable in dvr_ms files
    // set it later by probing stream
    st->codec->codec_id = CODEC_ID_NONE;
    st->codec->codec_tag = 0;                         // proposed new code
}

Do you want me to resubmit with this change?
