I am thinking about formats without any magic numbers - format that
beginning with first packet, like binary Logcat/Logger
(https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8279) or raw
media file like file contains only SBC frames (see "libsbc"), etc
(formats without header).
And fact that Wireshark do not only check magic bytes, but try all
open routine is great feature (if magic bytes is ok, but payload is
not)
