    Hi, D Richard Felker III!

Sometime (on Wednesday, December 24 at 23:16) I've received something...

    I don't understand that. Do you mean (node)->pull_frame() does not
process frames until it have pending ones already but all process will be
done by (node)->push_frame()? But then I don't know how filter could
request two or three frames in a row? For example if filter has found
that one frame isn't sufficient for it and must be requested another one?
Since your vp_request_frame does nothing but sets flags only. Explain it,
please. I don't know now how filters that don't do frame-to-frame will
work.

    With best wishes.
    Andriy.
