 Except mpv which you maintains, there is XMBC IIRC. You might want to send
 them a patch for this.

 > In a perfect world you'd probably ask the Libav devs to add a
 (redundant) new symbol, which would behave the same with two libraries.
 But I bet $10 that we can't have this. (Maybe you can bait them by
 introducing a new utility function, that merges avfilter_graph_config()?
 Or something similar. I don't understand why these are separate.)

 That means they would need to break their API the same way we did, which
 is not reasonable, so they won't agree (and they would be right, since
 lavfi API is not as unstable as it was, it would need a proper bump and
 function rename).
