/**
* Warning: this API is not stable yet.
*
* Overview
* --------
*
* This API can be used to make mpv read from a stream with a custom
* implementation. This interface is inspired by funopen on BSD and
* fopencookie on linux. The stream is backed by user-defined callbacks
* which can implement customized open, read, seek, size and close behaviors.
*
* Usage
* -----
*
* Register your stream callbacks with the mpv_stream_cb_add_ro() function. You
* have to provide a mpv_stream_cb_open_ro_fn callback to it (open_fn argument).
*
* Once registered, you can `loadfile myprotocol://myfile`. Your open_fn will be
* invoked with the URI and you must fill out the provided mpv_stream_cb_info
* struct. This includes your stream callbacks (like read_fn), and an opaque
* cookie, which will be passed as the first argument to all the remaining
* stream callbacks.
*
* Note that your custom callbacks must not invoke libmpv APIs as that would
* cause a deadlock.
*
* Stream lifetime
* ---------------
*
* A stream remains valid until its close callback has been called. It's up to
* libmpv to call the close callback, and the libmpv user cannot close it
* directly with the stream_cb API.
*
* For example, if you consider your custom stream to become suddenly invalid
* (maybe because the underlying stream died), libmpv will continue using your
* stream. All you can do is returning errors from each callback, until libmpv
* gives up and closes it.
*
* Protocol registration and lifetime
* ----------------------------------
*
* Protocols remain registered until the mpv instance is terminated. This means
* in particular that it can outlive the mpv_handle that was used to register
* it, but once mpv_terminate_destroy() is called, your registered callbacks
* will not be called again.
*
* Protocol unregistration is finished after the mpv core has been destroyed
* (e.g. after mpv_terminate_destroy() has returned).
*
* If you do not call mpv_terminate_destroy() yourself (e.g. plugin-style code),
* you will have to deal with the registration or even streams outliving your
* code. Here are some possible ways to do this:
* - call mpv_terminate_destroy(), which destroys the core, and will make sure
* all streams are closed once this function returns
* - you refcount all resources your stream "cookies" reference, so that it
* doesn't matter if streams live longer than expected
* - create "cancellation" semantics: after your protocol has been unregistered,
* notify all your streams that are still opened, and make them drop all
* referenced resources - then return errors from the stream callbacks as
* long as the stream is still opened
*
