Calling mp3 a container format seems more than a little weird to me;
it's an audio codec which can itself be embedded into other containers.
Granted, I'm not sure there's a clear definition of what is and isn't a
container...

Perhaps I misunderstand the architecture of mfplat, but I was under the
impression that a media source can receive a byte stream from any
source, not necessarily a file (and, in particular, does in practice
receive byte streams from Internet URLs). E.g. if a webcam was insane
enough to output muxed audio and video, a media source could even decode
that.

A potential name more specific than "stream_handler" could be
"winegstreamer_stream_handler".
