117 * A list of supported formats for one end of a filter link. This is used
118 * during the format negotiation process to try to pick the best format to
119 * use to minimize the number of necessary conversions. Each filter gives a
120 * list of the formats supported by each input and output pad. The list
121 * given for each pad need not be distinct - they may be references to the
122 * same list of formats, as is often the case when a filter supports multiple
123 * formats, but will always outut the same format as it is given in input.
125 * In this way, a list of possible input formats and a list of possible
126 * output formats are associated with each link. When a set of formats is
127 * negotiated over a link, the input and output lists are merged to form a
128 * new list containing only the common elements of each list. In the case
129 * that there were no common elements, a format conversion is necessary.
130 * Otherwise, the lists are merged, and all other links which reference
131 * either of the format lists involved in the merge are also affected.
133 * For example, consider the filter chain:
134 * filter (a) --> (b) filter (b) --> (c) filter
136 * where the letters in parenthesis indicate a list of formats supported on
137 * the input or output of the link. Suppose the lists are as follows:
142 * First, the first link's lists are merged, yielding:
143 * filter (a) --> (a) filter (a) --> (c) filter
145 * Notice that format list (b) now refers to the same list as filter list (a).
146 * Next, the lists for the second link are merged, yielding:
147 * filter (a) --> (a) filter (a) --> (a) filter
151 * Unfortunately, when the format lists at the two ends of a link are merged,
152 * we must ensure that all links which reference either pre-merge format list
153 * get updated as well. Therefore, we have the format list structure store a
154 * pointer to each of the pointers to itself.
