I think with enough effort you can make any demuxer fail, unless they
have a huge an truly random signature.
Maybe should add some options to limit its agressiveness, because unless
it is a test that most/all other demuxers pass I don't think it is a
convincing argument to make everyone fix their code (though ignore that
if the list is only so large because the patches I sent are not included
in the FFmpeg you tested).
