Adopted a variant of this (depends on "[PATCH] ffprobe: add
show_private_data option").

> * replace print_str() with print_str_opt() in the code which prints
>   private options, so they won't be displayed in JSON/XML, so XML
>   will validate but it will miss potentially useful information
> * manually update the XSD anytime a new private field is added, or
>   alternatively, add a script for doing it automatically, which looks
>   quite overkill and/or brittle

Updated.
