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
0x00ff- aac audio, fine
0x0111- doesn't play, vivo video- Vivo G.723/Siren Audio Codec
0x0112- doesn't play, vivo video- Vivo G.723/Siren Audio Codec
0x0163- doesn't play, Windows Media Audio Lossless V9
0x0215- doesn't play- Ulead DV ACM
0x0216- doesn't play- Ulead DV ACM
0x0402- doesn't play- Indeo Audio
0x1100736d- adpcm_ima wav
0x1104- doesn't play- Lernout & Hauspie CELP and SBC codecs
0x4143- says AAC, nothing plays; claims 7.1 channels
0x414c- empty folder - possibly lead audio aac/vorbis/amr ? ~~- unlikely: TwoCC says 0x434C LEAD Speech  0x564C LEAD Vorbis
0x5000736d- mp2, plays fine
0x55005354- doesn't play, video broken (wmv1), gnrc data- 
0x0674f- doesn't play- is actually Vorbis- must be forced (ffplay can handle it w/ -f ogg)- according to TwoCC, mode 1 Ogg Vorbis
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
0x6771- doesn't play- TwoCC says Ogg Vorbis mode 3+
0x706d- says AAC, plays, but playback not perfect: [aac @ 0x88ccfa0]Predictor bit set but LTP is not implemented. Update your FFmpeg version to the newest one from SVN. If the problem still occurs, it means that your file has a feature which has not been implemented. If you want to help, upload a sample of this file to ftp://upload.ffmpeg.org/MPlayer/incoming/ and contact the ffmpeg-devel mailing list.

adpcm_swf- all play
atrc- 050913.ram says unsupported video codec (rv20) but plays
other files have rv20 messages as well
dca- audio track 6 shows as 0x0000- should be 0162- wma3

• 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...
