WTF do you mean by 'dock in'? Do you mean dynamic loading? And if so,
do you realize that this means:
- major portability problems
- one of either:
  - decreased performance OR
  - significantly increased memory usage
- no practical benefits whatsoever

Since you reappeared on this list a week or so ago, nearly all of your
ideas have been bad ideas that have been rejected in the past and that
are annoying and inflammatory. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt
for now and not call you a troll, but I suggest you clean it up and
try to contribute if you're posting to this list rather than rehashing
this old stuff.

Also, keep in mind that the intent is for libmpdemux to eventually be
deprecated, with libavformat as the only demuxer.
