Implement it well, then it will be commited.
I mean adding a function to demuxer.c to query movie status, like:
- percentage of playback
- length of movie
etc
it's on my demuxer TODO but i'm busy with other things and i won't start
working on demuxer extension before we switch to new interface.

maybe something like demuxer_control(demuxer,command,param) would be a good
idea, using the ioctl-like interface similar to libvo/libao2/libmpcodecs
control()

until we change demxuer API to be modularized (similar way to libmpcodecs)
you should use switch(demuxer->type) in this function
