That does not make sense. The filesystem plugin does not have the
access_demux capability.

An access(_demux) plugin should never have a non-zero priority in the
current design, since the media location always include a scheme.

(Unfortunately, that precludes prioritizing multiple plugins with the same
scheme. The scheme should be embedded in the capability rather than the
shortcut, but I digress.)
