=ASF and other demuxer support=

==Abstract==
I was selected to do a project related to ASF and Matroska demuxers, but since there's some overlap related to Matroska, my main goal now is to improve the ASF demuxer as much as I can and then find another similar project to work on the rest of the time.


==Information==
I'm a student at Aalto University School of Science and Technology and I hope this is my final year here. Will know for sure around beginning of June.

==Produced code==
For convenience everything is hosted in [http://github.com/juhovh/vlc github] repository. The master branch will mostly follow upstream, my plan is to only commit more finished code there. Everything that breaks compilation etc. will go to private branches that are related to that specific task.
