#10942: Transcoding to mp2 within an mp4 container will be recognized as mp3

Summary of the bug:
When transcoding to an mp4 container with mp2 audio codec, the audio codec
is marked non-conclusively. This results in ffmpeg incorrectly recognizing
the audio codec in the transcoded video as mp3, while other programs
recognize it as the intended mp2:
**ffmpeg**
{{{
ffmpeg -i TargetAsMp4.mp4
results in [...]Stream #0:1[...]Audio: mp3 (mp3float) (mp4a /
0x6134706D)[...]
}}}
**MediaInfo**
* Format ''MPEG audio''
* Format version ''Version 1''
* Format profile ''Layer 2''
* Codec ID ''mp4a-6b''
**VLC Media Player**
* Codec ''MPEG Audio layer 1/2 (mpga)''
However, if another container format is used, for example mkv, the audio
codec will be recognized correctly by all programs:
**ffmpeg**
{{{
ffmpeg -i TargetAsMkv.mkv
results in [...]Stream #0:1[...]Audio: mp2[...]
}}}
**MediaInfo**
* Format ''MPEG audio''
* Format version ''Version 1''
* Format profile ''layer 2''
* Codec ID ''A_MPEG/L2''
* Codec ID/hint ''MP2''
**VLC Media Player**
* Codec ''MPEG Audio layer 1/2 (mpga)''
What is noticeable is the audio codec ID 0x6134706D shown within the mp4
container, which as far as I know is associated with the aac codec, but
not with mp2 or mp3.
How to reproduce:
