Probably not much except for the highlevel structures (like control flow 
and such, probably not any real code that could be shared), at least 
apple's variant and the other isom-based are quite different.

The current applehttp demuxer probably has a slightly better chance of 
handling the isom-based formats, but I'm not sure how much other changes 
would be needed, I'm not all that familiar with the non-apple variants.
