There are more people interrested in doing this, like myself ...
someone has to start somewhere though ...
i see 2 basic possible approuches
1. we draft a totally new API and once we think its good we implement it
2. we take the existing API and slowly transform it step by step into
   something that can be used from filters
Either way the final API should not depend on MpegEncContext

they as if into a greater darkness enter who devote themselves
to the Knowledge alone. -- Isha Upanishad
