I see you do, but I am afraid you are quite isolated. But maybe it is an
unfounded impression from me.

I saw your patch, but I had not yet time to comment. I fear it will not
work. You insert the CODEC_ID in the middle of the list, so you change the
value of all subsequent ids. That should only happen with major bumps.

But even if you append it at the end, during his nightly merges Michael will
define CODEC_ID_ESCAPE130_BIS or something to ensure binary compatibility
with both previous ffmpeg and next libav. And finally, someone will insert
CODEC_ID_ESCAPE130_BIS into the fourcc table of MPlayer for some reason.

The best course of action for the future would probably be to get
CODEC_ID_ESCAPE130 accepted with the same value as in ffmpeg.
