In general that sounds like a good plan, but there is a problem with that 
for http streams where seeking actually is allowed, just not fast. Setting 
url_is_streamed then isn't a good approach as it breaks other files + 
changes how the mov header is read.

I'm quite sure the supplied patch will be accepted as is. if nothing else 
cause it does mix in some cosmetics + code dup. But maybe something like it 
would.

It can force up to a second of buffered data wich might be unacceptable. But 
for my purpose it'll be fine (we buffer almost 8 seconds :/).

What do you guys think?

Regards
