There is a misunderstanding here.  First, I never meant to imply that
the word "muxer" should be part of the codec long name.  Second, I
understood you to mean that "FFserver live feed" was not the correct
name for the format implemented in ffmdec.c/ffmenc.c.  Is this the
correct name, yes or no?  If no, which is the correct one?
