I think it should return EAGAIN if AVFMT_FLAG_NONBLOCK was set, and block if
AVFMT_FLAG_NONBLOCK was not set.

You must remember that currently, ffmpeg can not deal with non-blocking
inputs: the main loop would have to be rewritten to be input-driven and not
output-driven.

I will try to work on something like that sometime soon.
