[MPlayer-dev-eng] Chainable demuxers?

this example is bad, as ps==pes (same format, just the padding restrictions
differ) and ES "demuxer" is implemented in vidoe.c, not in demuxer layer.

there is, the ogg-in-avi works this way.
there is a demux_demuxers.c, it can build a demux stream from 1/2/3 other
demuxers. it's used for -audiofile.
also there is a stream_type_demuxer, which allow a demuxer to read from a ds
(demuxer stream) of another demuxer instead of the stream layer.
it can be used for mpegps-in-mov.
