Hmm, sounds like we should hurry along then on MPCF... Do you have
time to write muxer/demuxer for it? :)) It should be much easier to
code than Matroska since Michael already wrote the pseudocode for
stream reading and since there isn't all the complicated EBML stuff.
AFAIK all the issues except the name have been worked out, so there's
no reason not to go ahead with implementation, at least as a test
phase to make sure it's good.
