I'm also slightly more in favor of this approach at the moment, but I'm
not totally decided, since both approaches have their pros and cons.

Ah, that's needed for the usleep, right? I'll add it to my local branch.

I'm undecided about this. The applehttp://http:// URLs sure do look ugly,
but without that, how would you specify to play a stream of this kind from
a local file?

Hmm, what part does this relate to?
Also, handling seeking in this setup is a bit more tricky than in the
current chained demuxer. (I've got a few extra patches for doing this, but
they're not pretty and require a bit of extra changes to the frameworks.)
