the probe buffer size increasing is done in av_open_input_file()
if mplayer limits that somehow, this is a bug in mplayer ...

the size is increased from 2k -> 1mb currently until a high enough
score is returned
Its perfectly fine thus if a demuxer needs 1mb for probing to be
successfull although of course a demuxer should try very hard to
do it with the smallest amount
