yes, but i've mixed the 2 ideas. what about this code:


mp_image_t* vf_process_image(vf_start){
    vf_dunno_t* vf=vf_start;
    mp_image_t* mpi=NULL;

    // find which filter will produce the image for us:
    // (normally this loop goes up to vf_vd, ie to the codec,
    // except if any of the filters above us have pending queued images)
    while((vf=vf->prev)){
	if(vf->process_image)
	    if((mpi=vf->process_image(vf,NULL))) break;
    }
    if(!mpi || !vf) return NULL; // error (codec failed?)
    
    // now vf points to the top filter which produced an image: mpi, and
    // vf_start points to the bottom filter, where we requested the image

    // drive our 'mpi' through the filters from vf to vf_start, including
    // the newcomers (auto-inserted filters)
    while((vf=vf->next) && vf!=vf_start){
	if(vf->process_image)
	    if(!(mpi=vf->process_image(vf,mpi))) // filter image
		return NULL; // some filter inbetween failed :(((((
    }

    // done.    
    return mpi;
}

example filter:

static mp_image_t* process_image(vf_dunno_t* vf, mp_image_t* mpi){
    mp_image_t* dmpi;
    if(!mpi){
	if(we have pending images?){
	    dmpi=vf_get_image(...)
	    render
	    return dmpi;
	}
	return NULL; // no thanks
    }
    dmpi=vf_get_image(...)
    filter mpi into dmpi
    while(we need one more image?){
	mpi=vf_process_image(vf);
	if(!mpi) sorry, no more...
	filter mpi into dmpi
    }
    return dmpi;
}

it should work (in theory, point me posisble problems please).
it allows any filter to insert new filters bellow itself while in
process_image(), and the new filters will be immediately used as soon
as it returns with mpi;
