That is exactly how I would like it.

Noooo.  The parsers are fine in lavc.  Many of them share code with
decoders too.

What I would like is a raw demuxer returning exactly what is in the
file, no decoding, no parsing.  This can be done separately if
needed.  Of course I don't mind having some convenience functions
doing these things for people that want them, but forcing everybody to
use the "fat" interface is wrong IMO.
