OK, so just to avoid misunderstandings: What I would have to do is to
first determine the file type myself (e.g. by file extension) and if
it is one that should use the image2pipe demuxer (for simplicity's
sake let's say that's jpg, png and dpx) I obtain an instance of
AVInputFormat (using
av_find_input_format) for image2pipe and then call avformat_open_input
using that input format pointer. Is that correct?
