Note that for inlining without -flto, the definition has to be known
at compile time. Currently, the demuxers won't inline the functions,
even if mig would include this declaration in the generated x_S.h
file, b/c it is not #included. So for current demuxers this won't
change anything, they will continue to use the one from xServer.c.
