Hi!

I believe attached patch is necessary to fix ticket #6839 and several
older bug reports.

Missing version bump and APIchanges entry.

Please review, Carl Eugen

No it is not neccessary. Because nothing uses it.

libavcodec uses it in several codecs and others may benefit from it.
It is also used by ffmpeg and shown by ffprobe.

But one you just added is not used....

That is because I wanted to know if the addition of the field is
acceptable before patching the various functions that will use it.
Do you find that this is unreasonable?

But I realize now that the struct I had been searching for
is probably AVFilterLink in avfilter.h.

Sorry for the noise, Carl Eugen

Where is this field realistically used for video? I only know if its
use for audio.

As is, no, it is just code connected with nothing. With a full patch
maybe.

But if I understand correctly what this field does, then to get it
working you would have to go over all filters that change the contents
of the signal to see how many significant bits they produce.

Proper way to fx that issue is change decoder to output gbrp10.
