Code is correct according to the specs.
You'd have to inspect all codecs specifications to prove that they must 
be set to something else. Example in AC3 specs:
"The values of the ChannelCount and SampleSize fields within the 
AC3SampleEntry Box shall be ignored." Therefore set to default value (2).
