what third party libs?

because its a dirty hack and it opens a can of worms, it would cause
people to simply set the pix_fmt in the demuxers (yeah why not it works...)
and that would force all muxers to convert the pix_fmt back into codec_tag+
whatever else is needed like the bpp
if you want to propose that then send a patch and depending on how that looks
it can be disscussed but a change which allows raw something which does at
the same time fail with all muxers is not ok
also you would need to update the API docs in avcodec.h and increase the
version number

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
