[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] stream: add fallback to ffmpeg for unknown streams

[Vincenzo Nicosia]

Dear devs,

please find attached a preliminary attempt to let open_stream_full
fallback to ffmpeg if the url does not belong to any known scheme.
This allows to open stuff like:

  mplayer gopher://bitreich.org/9/memecache/firewall.webm

but instead of working just for gopher, it works for any scheme
supported by ffmpeg (and not supported by any of the stream plugins
enabled in mplayer).

Comments are welcome. If the patch looks good to you, I will also add
a patch to the manpage, so that the behaviour is appropriately
documented.
