I asked about this on IRC, and this was suggested.
If I leave it at AV_CODEC_ID_NONE, then the ffmpeg CLI complains with
"Could not find codec parameters". I don't want to set it to
AVMEDIA_TYPE_UNKNOWN because then you lose all the codec parameters.

I would like to add a decoder eventually, but I'd have to reverse
engineer it. There's also not many samples to work with, so I'm not sure
how viable it'd be.
