Casting a pointer to some sort of integer and formatting it into a string isn't valid. A pointer derived from this hex string won't work reliably. Since ffmpeg doesn't provide a nice API for passing our pointer, we have to think of a different hack: ffmpeg passes the exact URL pointer to mpdurl_open(), and we can make this string part of a struct. This reduces the problem to casting the string back to the struct. This is still a workaround, but this is "sort of portable", unless the ffmpeg people start messing with the URL pointer (which would be valid according to the API definition).
