I tried it out; there's not a lot to report.

- Converting an xvid/mp3 avi file worked fine.
- Converting a vorbis ogg file worked fine.
- Playing both files was fine, though I get messages like this when
  seeking:
  ============= NO BINARY SEARCH
- Seeking seems fine -- nice and fast, with good A-V sync.


Ooh, actually, I just found a small problem. Playing a vorbis-audio-only
nut file results in playback returning to 0 after about 2.5 seconds of
playback. This message is printed:
NUT: max_distance syncpoint

Steps to reproduce:
$ mplayer some_file -ao pcm
$ oggenc audiodump.wav
$ nutmerge audiodump.ogg audiodump.nut
$ mplayer audiodump.nut

Other than that, it would be nice to handle dwStart in avi and/or have
an option to nutmerge for delaying streams. I don't know if you have
that planned. I'd look into it myself, but I don't really have the time
right now.
