S/PDIF and PCM can use the same packetizer.
My main problem is that some demuxers say that the format is packetized
when it's not really. In that case, there is no packetizer at all. I
don't really what to do in that case.

The decoder_RequestPacketizer() function doesn't really need the
packetizer_name argument. This function could just force the usage of
any packetizer (that matches the format).
One other solution could be to create an extra packetizer even if the
format from the demuxer is packetized.
