asyncts should be redundant

swresample.c: options[] should contain all the parameters except the
plain sample rate case for backward compatibility

do we have a volunteer to copy&paste + format for texi that ?
Iam happy to fill in anything thats unclear

Awnsering whenever a program halts or runs forever is
On a turing machine, in general impossible (turings halting problem).
On any real computer, always possible as a real computer has a finite number
of states N, and will either halt in less than N cycles or never halt.
