Actually I don't see why it needs to be a demuxer at all instead of only
a protocol. At least in MPlayer splitting it this way works (though
stream selection admittedly is ugly and possibly not suitable in this
way for ffmpeg).
But more importantly I consider asx parsing implemented as demuxer
unacceptable, and to be honest I think currently playlist parsing has no
place at all in ffmpeg. If it is desperately wanted it needs a proper
API first though.
