[MPlayer-dev-eng] NUT error resilience ideas

I fully agree. The container should only contain the things necessary to 
play, not everything you might need once in a few hundred times.
The only advantage of putting it inside I can think of is that we would 
force support for it in players...
And for those who really need more error resilience I think it wouldn't 
be too much trouble to save e.g. 6 bytes ECC codes per block in a 
separate file.
Like this also only players for streaming would have to support it 
directly (during playing), all others could use a separate program for 
fixing damaged files...
