[REQUEST] ASX parser/demuxer request

[gamester17@…]

I'm not a programmer/developer myself so I would like to like to request that
someone that is add this feature of ASX parser/demuxer to MPlayer:

Microsoft ASX is not a codec or a/v-container but more of only a
playlist/shortcut that points to where one or more URL's with the 'real' media-
container(s) are, (those media-containers ASX points to are usually ASF or WMV
video-file/stream format using HTTP:// or MMS:// since they are also from
Microsoft too).

I think it would be great if MPlayer could automaticly extract/parse those ASX
files to get the URL of the true media-file(s) they point to (as Microsoft's
Windows Media Player does).

ASX internet stream examples:

PS! I'm not 100% sure but I believe XINE recently added ASX parser support(?)
