Humm no, after further investigation, it seems only mplayer plays it
twice speed. ffplay just plays it fine, and the code is doing what must
be done, dunno why mplayer does that.

Btw, I had to let decoder init parameters for some codecs in mov: aac,
mp3on4, vorbis and there is no way other than manually setting sample
rate to 0 while it was specified in container.

That to mean special casing MPEG-2 is IMHO harmless when it's indeed
better to let decoder init params.
