If you're concerned with typos in the capability string, you can simply 
replace the strings with macros:

#define VLC_CAPABILITY_DEMUX "demux"

and

    set_capability(VLC_CAPABILITY_DEMUX, xxx)

I don't really follow the efficiency argument. We already have a binary search 
tree for indexing capabilities. An enumeration is likely to cause a lot of 
compatibility problems as capabilities are added and removed.
