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