Since they both have the same short name there is no way to distinguish
them, so it will use whichever lavf selects. It will always use one from
libavformat and not from libmpdemux though.
Basically it should do the same as the current
{ "nut", DEMUXER_TYPE_LAVF },
just that it is not extension but content-based...
