I was pretty sure that MPlayer supports 12bit greyscale, but I cannot
find where it was handled. You can of course pass it to the MPlayer
internas as 8bit greyscale, which would be IMGFMT_Y8 or just pass
it on as 16bit which would be IMGFMT_Y16_LE (LE = little endian).

You can find the internal #defines of the image formats in
libmpcodecs/img_format.h and can use https://www.fourcc.org/yuv.php
to decode their meaning.

The equivalent for libav would be libavutil/pixfmt.h

Luca Barbato tells me that adding Y12 support to libav would be easy.
