1.描述
AVIOContext是FFmpeg管理输入输出数据的结构体，位于avio.h文件中。
2.结构体定义
typedef struct AVIOContext {
/**
* A class for private options.
*
* If this AVIOContext is created by avio_open2(), av_class is set and
* passes the options down to protocols.
*
* If this AVIOContext is manually allocated, then av_class may be set by
* the caller.
*
* warning -- this field can be NULL, be sure to not pass this AVIOContext
* to any av_opt_* functions in that case.
*/

3.常见变量及其作用
unsigned char *buffer; //缓存开始位置。
int buffer_size; //缓冲区的大小。
unsigned char *buf_ptr;//当前指针在缓冲区中的位置，即当前指针读取到的位置。
unsigned char *buf_end; //缓存结束的位置
void *opaque;//一个私有指针，传递给read / write / seek / ...函数。
opaque指向了URLContext。URLContext结构体中还有一个结构体URLProtocol。
ps:每种协议（rtp，rtmp，file等）对应一个URLProtocol。
int64_t pos; //当前缓冲区在文件中的位置。
int must_flush; //如果下一次seek需要刷新则为真。
int eof_reached; //是否读到eof，文件结尾。
int (*read_pause)(void *opaque, int pause);//暂停或恢复播放网络流媒体协议 - 例如 MMS。
int64_t (*read_seek)(void *opaque, int stream_index, int64_t timestamp, int flags);
//使用指定的stream_index查找流中给定的时间戳（对于不支持寻找字节位置的网络流协议）。
