Please dont top-post.

Please take this to ffmpeg-user (unless the new protocol is of universal 
interest and you intend to propose a patch to add it to the sources).

You dont have to do that in file.c, you can do that in a source of your 
own, that's cleaner.

You dont have to know that. You launch

ffplay myprotocol://somekindofurl

and the open,etc... methods for your protocol will be called automatically.
