 av_guess_codec ignores the short_name, filename, and mime_type parameters.
 Observe this test program:

 {{{
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <libavcodec/avcodec.h>
 #include <libavformat/avformat.h>

 int main(int argc, char **argv) {
     avcodec_register_all();
     av_register_all();

     AVOutputFormat *oformat = av_guess_format(NULL, "test.ogg", NULL);
     enum AVCodecID codec_id = av_guess_codec(oformat, "flac", "test.flac",
 NULL, AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO);
     AVCodec *codec = avcodec_find_encoder(codec_id);
     fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", codec->name);

     return 0;
 }
 }}}

 It prints "libvorbis" when it should instead print "flac". The OGG
 container is capable of storing FLAC audio, and the "flac" short name
 should override the format name guessed with av_guess_format. I think even
 the filename and mime_type arguments of av_guess_codec, if supplied,
 should override whatever was guessed from av_guess_format.

 The implementation of av_guess_codec is completely ignoring these
 parameters.
