Ahem, are you sure it's possible? For example, I maintain vc1test, vmd
and dts. First two demuxers just test 2-6 bytes and return
AVPROBE_SCORE_MAX / 2, for DTS you can have sync marker after some junk,
I suspect H.26[13] have the same troubles. If you have random-looking
data without clearly define header to check, you have such scores.
