One of the benefits of community software is that it frees you from the 
corporate megalith philosophy of serving you what they think you want, rather 
than what you actually ask for. There are many reasons for wanting something 
illogical such as a 10-bit sequence encoded as 16-bit; we depend on FFmpeg doing 
what we ask and not something else. To silently do something different is 
particularly... disturbing IMHO.
