Currently using MLT to read from a network input is quite hard. The commandline
nc | inigo pipe:
works somehow, but it would be much nicer to have an udp producer.
How would one add such a producer? Support for reading from udp sockets is already included in ffmpegs libavformat, so it might be clever to use this. The code in avformat_producer.c seems to rely on the argument being a file.
