hm
- be modular
- be good
- be clever
- be nice
- be fast
- be extensible
..

ok... not yet :)

my initial plans are changing the demuxer functions (except demux_XXX_open())
to function pointers in the demuxer_t struct, and let demux_XXX_open() to
fill them. so only the _open() would be public, others can be static.
(similar API to video filters, vf_*.c)

changing the current code to work this way is enough for basic extensibility
(by control() or new function pointers without changing all demuxers)
and modularity.

next step would be support for multi-level detection, runtime index
building, multiple audio (and video) streams at the same time etc...
