Sample file:

<Asx Version = "3.0" >
<Entry>
<Ref href = "mms://wm201.streaming.mediaways.net/rtl/action/LOGO2.wmv"/>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Ref href = 
"mms://wm201.streaming.mediaways.net/rtl/comedy/hhcc_20020524_bush2.wmv"/>
</Entry>
<Entry>
<Ref href = "mms://wm201.streaming.mediaways.net/rtl/action/LOGO2.wmv"/>
</Entry>
</Asx>

yes, this is pls-format, but it should detect it anyway ...

hm ... how about asx then falling back onto asf if it don't succeeds ...

Debug code for what ?

It would have been more clear to comment out the following code-lines, as it 
was same effect, but then one could notice, yes there is something wrong or 
so ... :-(

Anyway, I think it would be nicer to have a demux_playlist.c, which would be 
called before all other demuxers, and which tries to detect if it is a 
plain/text-file (e.g. no binary characters at the beginning) and then tries 
out all playlist types, as there are tried anyway, when it assumes it could 
be type playlist ...

But I think here is only some redesign possible :-(

Of course after 0.90 ;-)
