The problem with url_exist() is that it tries to open a resource in RDONLY mode. If the file is a FIFO and there is already a reading client, the open() call will hang. By using avio_check() with access mode of 0, the second reading process will check if the file exists without attempting to open it, thus avoiding the lock. Fix issue #1663.
