I know that some time ago, Robero Togni had a look at it, and If I
recall correctly, the problem is not easy to solve, as TIFF images
come in a lot of falvours (IIRC, it's smth similar to an image
container).

The first samples does indeed decode correctly.

The second one doesn't. Xine and VLC can play it with just the sound.

One more item to the todo-list, one!

Some more samples to add to mphq's collection of samples too :)
