That would be best, indeed. But sometimes you have to do with the
limitations of the language and tools and choose the lesser of two
evils.

I mostly agree. If people are ok with a sudden API change in lavfi, then
I can rework my patch for that. But I want confirmation beforehand.

A scheduled API change would be better, but I do not want to wait for it
to apply the patch, so you would have to accept a temporary solution.

> However, ideally any incompatible API change should be coordinated with Libav.

I have been spurned in the past in my attempts to coordinate lavfi
evolution with libav, I will not make efforts again for that.
