This is completely unrelated to the original question.
(Why is a waveformatextensible header written for Dolby 
Surround?)

Allow me to repeat what I wrote in the ticket:
I am absolutely willing to help with this problem, but 
changing FFmpeg so it does something that the specification 
does not allow at least needs excessive testing - I would 
expect that WMP does not play the invalid samples.
