After some more reading on the subject, I understand that I must implement
my own URLProtocol using something like file.c as a base.

I am writing my application in C++ and would like to implement the
buffer/queue system in a C++ class. How would I tell my protocol about this
class?

Also, if I do this, I have to recompile the libav libraries with this new
protocol. WIll this affect the licences of how I may use this in a
commercial application?

I have also seen something about using "avio_open_dyn_buf" and
"avio_close_dyn_buf" instead, but I haven't gotten my head around that yet.
