i know, and our demuxer should handle it as well as chunks starting just
after odd sizes. Well in theory at least ...
Thats also why i dont like the patch, it would remove support for broken
avis, though then i do not remember if these exist ...

If i had the sample that caused the problem for the patch submitter then i
could likely fix it in 5min :) (i know how but like to test it)
