[vlc-devel] Add input option to libvlc_media_instance

[jboileau]

It seemed like a great idea but unfortunatly it didn't work (see trace
below). :-( Can't seem to options after the filename.

As per media_descriptor.c libvlc_media_descriptor_new is built using
input_ItemNew
but to do what I want I would probably need one built using input_ItemNewExt
which does not exist. Is there any other way to specify input options in the
libvlc_media_descriptor_... API? I have noticed a function to write a 'tag'
to a descriptor. Are tags the same as options?
