yes but that doesnt mean iam happier with every other scheme ...
IMHO the AVFormatContext should not be allocated in av_open_input_stream() but 
instead before it by the user, that would simplify things

no, either never change the struct but just add at the end or have some 
parameter descriptor with (name,min,max,offset,type) for the stuff in the 
struct
