The probe code determines the most likely format from the set of
supported formats.
We do not support playing excutable files (that makes no sense), thus
these do not get detected.

Is there a usecase where detecting not just the most likely multimedia
format but detecting that a file is not any multimedia format
makes sense ?

Also if a format is detected with a low score the user is informed about
this via "Format %s detected only with low score of %d,"
