Steven Zakulec is said to have tested every single sample in the MPlayer repository against FFmpeg. Occasional samples tester & bug filer.

---Notes from uncommon audio codecs list---
(This will get refined and moved into the main wiki shortly.)

--How to read--
the audio codec as reported in the uncommon_audio_codec.txt is the folder name. 
If it says all fine, it means all samples (up to 5) played fine in FFplay.  If FFmpeg doesn't show the same codec tag, I've included that as well.  
If there was an issue (audio, or in some cases video) I noted that as well.

audio samples:
0x0003- all fine, pcm_f32le
0x0004- link is dead
0x0005- play fine, nellymoser
0x0006- plays fine, nellymoser
0x0032- msgsm, not playable by ffplay.  
0x0038 not playable-  Natural MicroSystems VBXADPCM codec
0x0055 -now shows as mp3 audio, plays fine
0x0057- AMR-NB (should be playable in latest svn)
0x0074- VoxWare, tries to use voxmvdec.ax

0x55005354- doesn't play, video broken (wmv1), gnrc data. the text version of the tag is: U ST

0x6750- doesn't play- is mode 2 Ogg Vorbis (can be played with ffplay -f ogg)
0x6751- doesn't play- labelled as mode 3 Ogg Vorbis- can't be played

spxn- doesn't play, includes ZyGoVideo Pro

str1- video is fine, audio doesn't play (str1), Iomega MPEG layer II, RecordIt Decoder

i think xovs is Xiph Ogg VorbiS, the video track of that file is XiTh (Xiph Theora). --Compn 11:26, 20 December 2008 (EST)

• 0xfffe- Loko-Passe_de_Pedros-Nantes_vs_Psg-1994.mpg doesn't play- clip has this metadata:

MEncoder 1.0pre6-3.3.5- look for current codec pack from then- hopefully the audio codec is there

Fix the ogg fourcc nightmare!!!
The problem: once upon a time, windows idiots decided to try to store
vorbis-in-ogg-in-avi. Of course this failed miserably, but they used
the audio format tag 0xfffe for "extended" to do this. Later someone
working on MPlayer somehow decided 0xfffe was the format for vorbis,
which is nonsense, and now that's conflicting with real wav files with
extended audio format. This patch changes demux_ogg (and mkv) to use
sane fourcc's for vorbis and theora and gets rid of the 0xfffe
nonsense so hopefully wav files with extended audio will work now.
If there are problems, we'll have to find workarounds...and drive an
18-wheeler full of cola thru the house of whoever wrote this 0xfffe
nonsense in MPlayer to begin with...
