I very much disagree. This results in a duplicated code (and duplicated bugs), 
and, in this case, we could check the extension if it turned really necessary.

Besides moving the probing to demuxers solves very much nothing by *default*. 
It only fails in the corner case that you specified a custom demux, *and* you 
use a stupid format *and* you have terrible luck.

Frankly, if you use a bad file format with completely random stuff in the 
first few bytes, you are SOL. This is not just a VLC problem.

And there exists plenty of sane formats to carry raw audio or video that don´t 
suffer that problem.
