Nice.

Quick test: A random akamaihd.net HLS stream (they provide great
bandwidth) with quite small segments (~10s per segment) goes from 14.8x
to 16x. The overhead reduction seems significant, and this isn't even
https segments.

Issue: The hls demuxer now inconsistently no longer reports each opened
URL, only the first one. (Reporting of these at default log-level was
only recently added though.)
