In voc_get_packet(), if codec_id is invalid, don't read the packet.
or alternatively, set it only once for the first valid value, then later
instead of changing it if the value changes just print a warning and
read the packet.

In pcm.c if codec_id is invalid, don't try to decode the packet. It will
screw up more than just the divide-by-zero.
