this is incorrect, i found if you combine such commandlines, you can play the
audio correctly in mplayer, i figured this out by studying how vlc would do it

mplayer 163.mp4 -demuxer 35 -ac +ffmp3

but i'm told that the video speeds up/plays incorrectly
at least this gives you correct audio. altho i'm at a loss at why ffmp3 is not
handling mp3 audio when demuxed with lavf... old codecs.conf or missing entry?

if you would talk to the guys encoding this, find out what program they use,
etc, it would be useful, can we claim broken encoder yet? hehe

i've had a 3-4 users come in #mplayer and ask about this problem...

anyways, i do appreciate your help, i've also removed the sample as i needed
the space. i dont think this list gets a lot of eyeballs, but i've seen most
of the main developers writing to it (michaelni, rxt, dalias, rc, reimar,
sascha , deigo,  etc) so i think at least someone might check it out.
