Talking to myself here, but I figured it out sort of. After calling
avdevice_register_all() the "avfoundation" device will magically
appear as a regular demuxer format:
avdevice_register_all();
AVInputFormat *input = av_find_input_format("avfoundation");
AVFormatContext *demuxer = NULL;
avformat_open_input(&demuxer, "1", input, NULL)
