aeda583a2c Update code style
Limit source code to 80 chars, and declare functions return type and
modifiers on a separate line.

This allows to avoid very long lines, and all function names are
aligned.

(We do this on VLC, and I like it.)

e6e011baaf Add stream layer
The decoder initially read from the socket, decoded the video and sent
the decoded frames to the screen:

              +---------+      +----------+
  socket ---> | decoder | ---> |  screen  |
              +---------+      +----------+

The design was simple, but the decoder had several responsabilities.

Then we added the recording feature, so we added a recorder, which
reused the packets received from the socket managed by the decoder:

                                    +----------+
                               ---> |  screen  |
              +---------+     /     +----------+
  socket ---> | decoder | ----
              +---------+     \     +----------+
                               ---> | recorder |
                                    +----------+

This lack of separation of concerns now have concrete implications: we
could not (properly) disable the decoder/display to only record the
video.

Therefore, split the decoder to extract the stream:

                                    +----------+      +----------+
                               ---> | decoder  | ---> |  screen  |
              +---------+     /     +----------+      +----------+
  socket ---> | stream  | ----
              +---------+     \     +----------+
                               ---> | recorder |
                                    +----------+

This will allow to record the stream without decoding the video.
