There are also formats using this approach with ordinary RGB. e.g. 16-bits
consumed per R/G/B component, but the dynamic range is 14-bits.

Okay. If the demuxer uses AVCodecContext.bits_per_coded_sample to indicate the number
of bits-per-sample, should it describe 'per component sample' or 'per pixel sample'.

Enclosed is a patch for scaling up these formats within rawdec. Not sure if rawdec
is the best place for this; keen to hear opinions.
