note that this seems to be a bug in what i expect (feel free to correct me) is a code path for a little-used codec

maybe we'll just see them remove support for these long-tail formats the way linux has been removing drivers for similar reasons https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Retiring-Moxa-Driver

it's widely used but in "industry" applications. so ffmpeg is probably being used in a lot of offices (studios) and maybe even being included in end user software.
