Anything that fits.
The current demuxer:
  - doesn't seek correctly to I-frames
  - is broken with modern linked-chapter-files from anime fansubbers
  - doesn't support correctly all the RealAudio codecs (should be
    trivial to fix once you have a sample.)

The current lavf demuxer lacks:
  - chapters (maybe just our wrapper to lavf)
  - menus
  - linked-files
  - many codecs
  - mka support

I believe that rewriting one from scratch is stupid, but reusing another
one might make sense.

Best Regards,
