Actually, probably not without more changes, because the devices do not
remove the protocol prefix from the file name.

Yes, but the lavfi device can not be selected automatically from the URL in
the first place.

That is your opinion.

... Thinking about what rawvideo means would probably have taken less time
than typing the question.
