notice the -sws options _all_ use the same swscaler module which is
very configurable. similarly the -arm (actually idiotic, this should
be a filter-local param, not a global param, same for vf_scale...) can
control which type of filtering the lavc resampler is configured to
do. there is _no_excuse_ for including support for a different totally
unoptimized resampler that just duplicates functionality of lavc...
