Was a long time ago, could have been moved or pruned.

Well it may decode with libavcodec's decoder (haven't tested actually yet), 
but currently we use a different decoder for standard AC3 which doesn't 
support eac3. Thus unless libavformat set's the codecid properly we choose the 
wrong decoder.

If the parser would jump back and forth, there could be a point in only 
allowing it to "upgrade" the stream from AC3 to EAC3, then as soon as a EAC3 
frame is found it is marked as EAC3.
