Let <var>parsedMime</var> be the result of running the <a>parse a

If the value of <var>parsedMime</var> is <code>failure</code>,

If the combined <code>type</code> and <code>subtype</code> members
of <var>parsedMime</var> imply a single media codec, run these
substeps:

If the <code>parameters</code> member of <var>parsedMime</var>
is not empty, return <code>false</code> and abort these steps.

Otherwise run the following substeps:

If the <code>parameters</code> member of <var>parsedMime</var>
does not contain a single key named "codecs", return

If the value of <code>parsedMime.parameters["codecs"]</code>

Otherwise, return true.
