[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC] Event loop

The way I see it, compatibility is ensured: the current API that reads
on protocol should still be supported, by creating a local loop and
running it until a packet is obtained. Exactly what we are doing now,
but with cleaner code and less duplication.

Therefore, muxers and demuxers written for it would continue working.

But muxers and demuxers would also have the option of being rewritten to
use events, and in turn gain better non-blocking operation in the
process.
