Not to mention:

 - multiple streams (either audio/video) in one container
 - timestamps
 - other metadata carried in the input container or stream (if decoding)

And indeed, running all of this over standard 4k pipes is ehm...
non-optimal. Using a socketpair of 64 kb might help somewhat, but that
would be as complex as using shared memory which of course beats the
hell out of every other mechanism. Either way, you won't have the nice
pipeline syntax.

I never understood why no unix version has a ioctl to set the pipe
buffer size.
