This changes the check from verifying if a codec_id is present to
verifying if the first character in the codec_id is non-NULL.  That
doesn't seem obviously safer and the tables of machines seem to be
terminated by having an entry with all fields set to zero (which is
a common idiom in Linux) which would now crash with this change.
