libavformat 0.6 does not pass the original URI pointer to the "open"
method, which leads to a crash because MPD was using a dirty hack to
pass a pointer to that method.
This patch switches to av_open_input_stream() with a custom
ByteIOContext class, instead of doing the URI string hack with
av_open_input_file().
Loosely based on a patch from Jasper St. Pierre.
Use the libavformat function av_probe_input_format() to probe the
AVInputFormat, instead of letting av_open_input_file() do it
implicitly. We will switch to av_open_input_stream() very soon, which
does not have the probing code.
Loosely based on a patch from Jasper St. Pierre.
What's happening is the `ptr' argument to that function is NULL for me
every time. `ptr' is unconditionally dereferenced to generate a log
message, and this is where mpd crashes.
Attached is a simple patch that tests for NULL and omits the log. With
this patch the crash disappeared and mpd went back to working well.
