hmm, i see now that AVOptions with sws is slightly unpretty, it seems i didnt
realize this previously, ill look at your patch (i think there was one)
itmight not have been that bad ...

to make AVOptions work nicer the sws init should possibly be split so
that the context is allocated then the user (via AVOptions) has a chance
to set various values and then the actual init is done.

try with and without scaling do both fail? does rgb32 outputfail for all
input pixfmts?

It is not what we do, but why we do it that matters.
