Someone argued there was code dup in libavformat/tcp.c (2 occurences, 
see above).
So I factored it out there in the first one.
So please make your mind :D

As for which lib they go into, well there were several return -EFOO in 
libavcodec as well. And someone suggested moving errors there.
I can move that back to avformat, and change others to return -1.
I don't care as long as it's not those ugly -EFOO.

I just did as other funcs in the header were and was probably asleep.
Though, the 2nd one would probably not be of use to apps if it's 
static.
Making them inline would probably be better.

That one isn't strictly required, I just added it as a convenience for 
applications which might want to make sense of our error codes to 
itself or the system (other apps) or display plain text messages.
Using strerror(av_error_from_errno(e)) has the added value of being 
already localized I think.
But I can drop that if you want.

Whatever :p

I didn't change a thing in the comments, but I can add that I suppose.

No idea, I didn't write that code.
