Support playback from an audio stream passed as a command line argument about c2play HOT 4 OPEN

This is a feature I already wanted to support. I just have not figured out the best way to do it. There really is no need to mux the streams together. It may actually be simple to do with the beta1 architecture by having two independent source elements and graphs with only the clock line connecting them for synchronization.

I have started experimental support for this in the "dualstream" branch:
https://github.com/OtherCrashOverride/c2play/tree/dualstream

./c2play-x11 http://video_stream --dual https://audio_stream

[edit]
Note that for urls, it may be necessary to enclose them in quotation marks if they contain characters like "&" since they have special meaning to the shell.

./c2play-x11 "http://video_stream" --dual "https://audio_stream"

from c2play.

I've tried it and... it seems to work. I was unable to test sound and audio synchronization because I don't have a sound card, but playback has a bit of "lost packets" that could be seen in the logs:

I'm guessing you're on the right track. I will update my packages and request for testers.

I will likely need to add some kind of stream pre-buffering so that playback does not start until a certain amount of both video and audio have arrived.
