I'm very strongly against this and veto it with all my might.

There was a very strong objection to this patch in another reply. You
should ask him to elaborate if necessary.

I do not remember. Checking. Oh, you mean wm4. I no longer read their
mails, and it seems I was right: this is no objection.

Will push soon unless there is an objection.

That's not how things are done and you know it. You do not simply ignore
another developer's email just because you don't like them. And
*especially* not when it's a veto to an API change.

This is a project handled by several people and it doesn't care about
your personal grudges. So please, ask him to elaborate why he's against
this patch, and don't push it until both parts are satisfied or other
people intervene to argue in favor or one side of the discussion or the
other.

So you openly admit on shitting on the project rules? That is nice of
you. (It's not the first time you ignore my patch review comments.)

jamrial asked to clarify this, so here's some reasoning why I'm against
it:

The alternative would be using AVOptions, but AVOptions are clunky.
Especially when setting things like lists of allowed formats or channel
layouts. I don't like AVOption APis in general, but with those lists
it gets seriously error-prone on the API user side.

On the source filter side, AVBufferSrcParameters was recently
introduced, so that alone is an indicator that a dedicated params
struct makes sense, and that we shouldn't remove it.

I would argue that there should be a av_abuffersink_parameters_set
function, instead of using the really unsafe opaque init parameter. I'd
also respect if we were to merge AVABufferSinkParams into
AVBufferSinkParams, or if this were preparation for adding a similar 
but more general mechanism for both FFmpeg/Libav (non-AVOption of
course), but I haven't noticed such plans.

All in all, just deprecating/removing this would be a step backwards,
and would force current users of this API to use more awkward API
instead. There was also no good (or any) reason given _for_ removing
the API.

No. I'm CCing to the list as this is a public discussion.

I say it again, you don't ignore other developer's emails. That "watch
me do whatever i want" attitude is what nobody likes or wants in any
kind of OSS project, and is absolutely unacceptable.

If there are developers against a patch, unless they're outnumbered then
it works as a veto. Then of course we also have the voting system to
make it official if things are too tied or heated up.

You didn't explain why you want the patch applied either. The commit
message is empty. And since now wm4 explained why he's against, it's
your turn to both explain why you're in favor and to address his argument.

Don't escalate this thing any further. We don't need more drama or
flamewars here. Nothing good ever comes from that. You two argue why
you're in favor or against this patch, and don't commit anything until
that's solved.
