 VLC tries first to detect content ignoring extension, and fall back
to extension when it cannot.
 One of the problem, is that PS is hard to detect in a reliable way, and
that mod demuxer only check extensions...

 Now, mod demuxer has a priority of 10, the automatic PS dectection has a
priority of 8.
 Does anyone know if the priority of mod can be decreased below (<) 8 ?
(I would avoid increasing PS because of lot of demuxers use 10).
