Feel free to deprecate the old name in favor of
av_get_bits_per_sample(), when I created the function I took the old
name (av_get_bits_per_sample_format()), which was a poor choice.

BTW which should be the policy for deprecating functions? I suppose we
could mark them for removal at version N+2 where N is the current
major number, for easing transition (this would also mean that we'll
stay keeping cruft around longer).
