The internal IO context may have an IO error without the demuxer having an error. From the possibility of reconnects to redundancy to errors after all essential parts of a file ... so this may need some flag per demuxer that either declares this relation true or a flag declaring it false [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Those who are best at talking, realize last or never when they are wrong.
