Have you tried MPEG-2 clip-wrapped (both audio and video) files?
If your code is correct, you should be able to remove the
st->need_parsing = AVSTREAM_PARSE_FULL;
and it should still play. But I very much doubt it.

That makes it likely that your patch _only_ works for DV, and the question is
what the point is of all the extra code that fiddles with the values to fix
them up for audio etc. when it works just as well without (e.g. enabling
this new code only for DV, or at least only when the edit unit is sensible
and we have no parser for the format).
