Deprecate av_get_bits_per_sample_fmt(), which was a misnamed function.
For the moment we don't have sample formats with a non-integer number
of bytes, in that case we may need to create a new
av_get_bits_per_sample() function. In the meanwhile we prefer to adopt
this variant, since avoids divisions by 8 all over the place.
Remove AVFilterBufferRefAudioProps.size, and use nb_samples in
avfilter_get_audio_buffer() and avfilter_default_get_audio_buffer() in
place of size.
This is required as the size in the audio buffer may be aligned, so it
may not contain a well defined number of samples.
The new layout is consistent with that of the av_image_() API, and
simplifies understanding and copy operations, it also preserves
alignment information which was lost with the previous layout.
This breaks API/ABI, but since the function was never referenced in
the code (and it isn't unlikely already used by someone) then this
should not be a problem.
The new flags parameter allows to specify if the video ref to add
should overwrite the cache, if the flag is not set vsrc_buffer will
complain and abort; otherwise it will clean the already cached video
ref before to overwrite it, thus avoiding a leak.
The new function accepts a slightly more intuitive order of paramters,
and returns an error code, thus allowing applications to report a
meaningful error message.
The new function is a wrapper around
av_vsrc_buffer_add_video_buffer_ref(), and allows to simplify the act
of pushing AVFrame data to the source buffer.
avfilter_copy_frame_props() avoids code duplication and increases
robustness.
The added files libavfilter/avcodec.[ch] are used for containing
utilities useful for gluing togheter libavfilter and libavcodec.
The format is a per-frame property, having it in AVFrame simplify the
operation of extraction of that information, since avoids the need to
access the codec/stream context.
width and height are per-frame properties, setting these values in
AVFrame simplify the operation of extraction of that information,
since avoids the need to check the codec/stream context.
Improve consistency with libavcodec.
This breaks libavfilter API/ABI.
The non-sequential 2.1.0 -> 2.4.0 bump is due to the mess previously
done with the lavfi minor number.
The sample aspect ratio is a per-frame property, so it makes sense to
define it in AVFrame rather than in the codec/stream context.
Simplify application-level sample aspect ratio information extraction,
and allow further simplifications.
This is similar to what was done with pkt_pts. This simplifies the
operation of extracting the pos information from the AVPacket, and
allows further simplifications.
Also deprecate av_get_pict_type_char() in favor of
av_get_picture_type_char().
The new enum and av_get_picture_type_char() are defined in libavutil.
This allows the use in libavfilter without the need to link against
libavcodec.
