Hi,

I'd like to make a little cleanup in the stream opening so it doesn't
depend anymore on a global var as it is atm for dvd, vcd, tv, mf, cuebin
and these 'playlist' for rtp. My idea is simply to use only the filename
argument with url like syntaxt (as it's alredy possible).

The problem is what to do with these options. Ok it's possible to
'simulate' them for the simple one's like dvd or tv. But for complex ones
like cuebin (wich have an option for the filename to open and need to be
used in combination with -vcd) it's really tricky.

Imho we should just drop these options (replace them with an info
message) and all will be fine. The easy one like dvd and vcd can be kept
but that's still a hack that i'd like to remove some day ;)
