Let's discuss this at the hackfest at the end of the month.

As I see it, and as has been mentioned above, there are at least three goals
here:

1) avoid parsing/decoding of data that's not being used

2) ideally avoid reading and demuxing data that's not going to
     be decoded or used (where possible, e.g. in qtdemux)

3) make stream switching better/smoother/faster
