Probably worth pointing out more exactly what it does. Even I can only
guess: Dumps the raw payload, in *addition* to demuxing the input as
normal.

That makes it an additional protocol prefix, right? So you can end up
having two (or more?). "capture:file:/path/bla"
(Confusing to me as a user at first sight, but ingenious if it works.
Yes, I did test it.)

So, is this the perfect replacement for "mplayer -dumpstream [-dumpfile
capture.dat]"? :-) Probably also worth noting somewhere.
If you go with Nicolas's suggestions, this comment is obsolete, but:

If you're going to print a message, please also evaluate errno, for the
sake of the user.
