	Best of luck to you. I had always meant to write documentation on
the demuxer and decoder layers. Looking back on it, I am sort of glad that
I didn't because I would have had to revise the documentation on every
single API upgrade. The demuxer API was at version 8 when I first joined
up with xine. The same API is now at version 22. 14 API bumps; 14 doc
revisions.
