Actually doing the header in the virtual stream is easy. But when I read
the packets I need to set the position at the right packet boundaries so
I have to access the virtual stream even more to do so... So I won't add
it in the end. It's an extra hack for no real life use.
Yes, seeking is not only needed in the virtual stream (also called
protocol) but I don't think it would work otherwise with av_stream_info
and stuff like that. At first I just made a demuxer and no virtual
stream. It was working fine but url_ftell() was always wrong and that's
what we use in DrDivX to track progress in the encoding/analysis so I
added the virtual stream.
