Chill, both of you.

Its a crappy format, no reason to blame anyone else but the format.
We have plenty of crappy formats which have no clear separation between
packets so demuxers have to give not-entirely-demuxed packets to the
decoder which also has to skip past junk. Its both wrong and its not,
because it isn't defined anywhere and the packets packed in the file were
never meant to go anywhere but the format they were packed in.

I think the image2 demuxer shouldn't handle this type of junk/useless data
filtering and would rather see a separate demuxer like the current patch
which deals with crap. Its not elegant but blame the format and the fact
that back when it was designed there weren't even any universal containers
for audio/video.
