Changes in v2:
1. Replaced zmq_poll with zmq_msg_recv.
2. Remove user timeout option as zmq_msg_recv(.., .., ZMQ_DONTWAIT) is a
non-blocking call.
3. Updated docs.

Subject: [PATCH] libavformat: Add ZeroMQ as a protocol option
Currently multiple clients are only supported by using a
multicast destination address. An alternative is to stream to a server
which re-distributes the content.
This commit adds ZeroMQ as a protocol option, which allows
multiple clients to connect to a single ffmpeg instance.

+
+ZeroMQ asynchronous messaging library.
+
+This library supports unicast streaming to multiple clients without relying on
+an external server.
+
+The required syntax for streaming or connecting to a stream is:
+@example
+zmq:tcp://ip-address:port
+@end example
+
+Example:
+Create a localhost stream on port 5555:
+@example
+ffmpeg -re -i input -f mpegts zmq:tcp://127.0.0.1:5555
+@end example
+
+Multiple clients may connect to the stream using:
+@example
+ffplay zmq:tcp://127.0.0.1:5555
+@end example
+
+Streaming to multiple clients is implemented using a ZMQ Pub-Sub pattern.
+The server binds to a port and publishes data. Clients connect to the
+server (IP address/port) and subscribe to the stream. The order in which
+the server and client start generally does not matter.
+
+ffmpeg must be compiled with the --enable-libzmq option to support
+this protocol option. See the compilation guide
@url{https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/CompilationGuide/Ubuntu}
+for an example on how this option may be set.
