Given that strips are frame-wide for all samples and encoders known to me,
rejecting per strip implies rejecting the whole file.

A safe and efficient approach would be to be able to adjust the frame
size up to a multiple of 4 (mplayer actually seems to do that?).
Is there any way to properly set this from inside the decoder?

Another way is moving the check from per-strip to per-block, to treat
"partial" blocks separately (the check will cost some performance).

Possibly this would be nice as the next improvement but right now I do
not feel that the problem is a regression.
