Comment (by msiders):

 Hi oromit,

 Thank you for pointing to the initialization code of the ffmpeg.c
 Now I see that only one "ist->hwaccel_id" is used.

 I feel this could be changed to some list of "active" hardware
 accelerators (like the list of available hw accels). Then multiple
 hw_device_ctx can be active in one execution of the FFmpeg.

 I hope someone would like to implement this. The rewrite of the ffmpeg.c
 doesn't need to be "massive" as for each filter just only one
 "hw_device_ctx" can be used. So the change only implies to the
 initialization section and to pass the correct context to each filter.

 You agree?
