Ah yes, now I remember, Vitor wanted us to start by designing the
"sequencer API", i.e. the data format of what is output by the
"decoder" as SAMPLE_FMT_bla. I agree with Vitor and we should start
with that, while you get the "demuxer" in shape also.

Don't add a libavcomposer/, there's no need. All code can live in
libavcodec/ for the decoder, libavformat/ for the demuxer and we'll
figure out later whether the sequencer (SAMPLE_FMT_bla -> INT/FLOAT)
lives in its own dir or not. I think libavcodec/ would be fine for
that but don't care much. The header would live in libavcodec/ either
way because it's part of the definition of SAMPLE_FMT_bla, which in
itself is part of a libavcodec/avcodec.h enum.
