This need several things :
* Adding the menu in the UI. This is the easy part
* Add appropriate support in the media kit, next to BMediaFile.
* Make sure our codecs are able to work with streamed sources. For now,
they assume they can freely seek (this is used to guess the data
format).
Part of the work was started as part of a (failed) GSoC project about
adding DVD playback support, as DVDs are also better streamed.
