----------------------------------+----------------------------------
 Our c++ application (xlights.org) is now failing with unable to open mp3
 files when given a filename with unicode characters.
 eg. Everybody Want (From “The Hunger Games_ Catching Fire” Soundtrack).mp3

 this is our call.

 {{{
 int res = avformat_open_input(&formatContext, _audio_file.c_str(),
 nullptr, nullptr)
 }}}

 Is there anything we could or should have done to handle this now in this
 version of avformat?
 (windows 64bit, along with Unix and MacOS)
