Hm, I just noticed the current demuxer doesn't handle that...
It might complicate things a bit for the video support.
Does anyone know if it's allowed to mix different encoding methods in a
CDXL file?

Probe size is whatever the application provides. 32kB for MPlayer,
FFmpeg I think increases probe size if it does not get a match but I do
not know the limit.
Anyone who wants could provide several GB of data for probing.
