Hi,

I think this is a typo...

chain of filters.
 * `libavdevice` provides an abstraction to access capture and playback
devices.
 * `libswresample` implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
 * `libswscale` implements color conversion and scaling routines.

I think it's missing an article too: 'provides a means to alter decoded 
Audio and Video through a chain of filters' might be better here, 
alternatively: 'provides a means to alter decoded Audio and Video 
through a filtergraph'.

Yes, I did consider that, the problem was 'means' was critical to
understanding (and not misunderstand 'mean' to mean something else),
while the missing article wasn't critical, and at the same time I didn't
want to presume i knew absolutely certain what 'chain of filters' means and
that it needs an article.
Filtergraph, however, is also consistent with the rest of the documentation
and thus, to me, is preferred.

Please take a look again, a couple more fixes:

The patch is corrupt. But it's ok I'll apply it.
