[Ffmpeg-devel] Stream file handle hijacking by another thread

I traced the issue to the begining, and have found the cause for the
problem. Some of the file descriptors (fd) are set to 0 from the
start, from the open() function:

static int file_open(URLContext *h, const char *filename, int flags)
{
...
    fd = open(filename, access, 0666); /* fd gets 0 */
...
    h->priv_data = (void *)(size_t)fd; /* priv_data gets 0 as well */
}

This happens for several threads in the same process. AFAIK open()
should gurantee unique fd, but this is not the case here.

Can anyone advice what should be done here?
