Comment (by tes45t):

 @cehoyos That sounds like a too personal opinion. File extension is just a
 part of the file name. Forcing a part of the file name to be the only way
 to influence the muxer seems like a bizarre constraint to me. That would
 be like if your nickname "cehoyos" means that you must work on operating
 systems, because it ends with "os". But, as we know, you don't work on
 developing an operating system, but instead you work on ffmpeg. Then, why
 is your nickname not "cehoyffmpeg"? Isn't that misleading? Or if my
 personal name is Patrick and I work in a bakery, should I change my
 personal name to Patribakery?

 I asure you that a lot of developers from my team share my opinion. If you
 want, I can ask all of them to register on this website and upvote this
 feature request or post a comment. File extension is just a string, and
 should be totally unrelated to the ffmpeg encoding parameters. It is just
 a file name, it should not dictate or influence any encoding algorithms or
 muxer options. Besides that, I don't see the reason for your expressing
 your personal opinion regarding this, since @Gyan said that they already
 have a patch for this. I would suggest waiting a few weeks until @Gyan's
 patch is merged and refrain from further discussing about this topic until
 then. Thanks.
