Hi everyone,

I’m trying to solve this issue https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/11394.

This ticket shows that we need use `-seekable` and `-http_seekable` to control 
the range header if send.

Because these options belong to different file(hls.c and http.c)

So I try to modify the http_seekable to seekable in hls.c, but I realized the 
avoption parameter will be released after being used once. 

In that case, the init_input and read_header functions in avformat_open_input 
of demux.c used avoption successively, resulting in no seekable parameter in 
the second part of the http request (it has been used and released by 
init_input). So the second part of http request still not controled by the 
seekable option.

I think it’s necessary to make the avoption used be more general, it can be 
more friendly to users, there is no need for users to use two options for the 
same function. So I have two solutions here:

1. Do not release avoption immediately after use, to ensure that all avoptions 
have a complete life cycle in avformat_open_input, but this will cause a 
problem, that is, it is impossible to determine which options are used and 
which are not used.

2. Add new avoption type like general_avoption which has a longer life cycle 
than ordinary avoption, so that ordinary avoption can still retain the feature 
of being detected whether it is used.

Anyone feel free to give me some advice, I really want to make some 
contribution for this issue.

Thanks
Jack
