The problem is these files are highly dependant on each other, its not really
possible to say ok to one without also saying ok to all others.
As example just take mms_private.h i cant really say anything about anything
in there without fully reviewing the code which uses the specific part. Take
one state of the state machine, ask the question if this state is needed.
You cant awnser that without the code using that state.
Or ask the more general question if the state machine is needed at all.

I wont accept the messy state machine without being certain that it is
impossible to reimplement it cleaner. To which of the files could i say
ok without saying ok to the state machine? none?
And the state machine is just one part ...

Sending several patches in a single mail is a perfect recipe to have some
of them lost, others have been hit by this as well.
Anyway the av_url_read_fseek_api patch does not look very important, it
just changes a doxy comment ...
