This demonstrates that debian's ffmpeg does not support that
particular codec. To fix this bug, we'll need to upgrade the debian
ffmpeg package to a new upstream. xine will instantly be able to play
your video once ffmpeg is updated to a new upstream version.

I leave it to Sam to decide about the severity of this bug. I feel it is
wishlist (since it is actually a feature request), but I don't mind if
we would raise severity.
