[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/3] vlc_stream: add stream_MimeType

[Filip Roséen]

As there is quite common for stream-consumers to be interested in the
associated mime-type, if any, of a stream; this helper function allows
access to that directly (instead of consumers having to manually parse
the string returned by stream_ContentType).
