867,support in24 audio in mov muxer,dericed,,"In order to maintain interoperability with a broadcast system I need to transcode audio to pcm_s24be with an 'in24' codecid. Using ffmpeg the codecid for '-acodec pcm_s24be' produces a codecid of 'lpcm' even if I specify '-atag in24'


Here's my output using ffmpeg to try to output an 'in24' audio stream in Quicktime:

The same command through ffmbc works and produces an output with 'in24' codec id.",defect,closed,normal,avformat,git-master,fixed,atag mov,,,,1,0
