well ...

the original idea was that codec identifers would either fit in an int
or a demuxer would have a table of identifiers, it needs one anyway to
set codec_id, and in that case codec_tag could be a index into that
table
this should work with mime types too ...

Breaking DRM is a little like attempting to break through a door even
though the window is wide open and the only thing in the house is a bunch
of things you dont want and which you would get tomorrow for free anyway
