Because the idea of AVFormatParameters was busted, in general you need
to specify special options for the device/de/muxer you're opening, and
you can't rely on a fixed structure for that.

Anyway, could you show a gdb backtrace of the crash? The old API is
still supported and a crash there is a bug (but I can't reproduce
here, also telling the exact version you're using may help).
