Yes, right now we apply a separate filterchain to each input.

With the lavfi indev this should be possible, it generates a graph,
and each output of this graph is connected to a stream of the virtual
device, thus allowing to split a source, creating two separate
streams, and then you can use the usual -map mechanism to map each
input stream to the output.

This should also allow to test transmedia filtering since there is no
separate A/V path in the virtual device graph.
