[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avfiltergraph: avoid harmful auto audio conversions.

[Nicolas George]

With the current code, an automatically inserted aconvert necessary
for format change would usually convert to mono for no good reason.

The new code will not avoid all conversions, but at least will keep
them among the layouts common to both filters.
