You could change the demuxer you submitted to simply skip the video
track and demux only the audio, which afaik can be decoded by libavcodec.
If this Argo video codec was supported by some other container then it
would make sense adding a descriptor for it, as it would allow remuxing.
But as is, it's probably better not to bother with it.
