Well, once compiled, VLC should find it automativally (it browses the
plugin directory on each startup). You don't need to register your codec
to a demuxer. If your plugin declares it can decode the proper fourcc
(which is used as internal representation of codec names in VLC), it
will be chosen to decode the coresponding streams (if it has the highest
priority).
