The idea is to have exactly those that FFmpeg actually supports.
If you removed RGB32 for example you'd have to add both RGBA and
ABGR (or was it ARGB and BGRA? Whatever) despite the fact that
only even one will ever work with a certain MPlayer build.
That seems to me like making stuff more complicated and increasing
the risk that it will only work on little-endian with not really
much of a benefit I can see.
