24 /**
25  * A list of supported formats for one end of a filter link. This is used
26  * during the format negotiation process to try to pick the best format to
27  * use to minimize the number of necessary conversions. Each filter gives a
28  * list of the formats supported by each input and output pad. The list
29  * given for each pad need not be distinct - they may be references to the
30  * same list of formats, as is often the case when a filter supports multiple
31  * formats, but will always output the same format as it is given in input.
32  *
33  * In this way, a list of possible input formats and a list of possible
34  * output formats are associated with each link. When a set of formats is
35  * negotiated over a link, the input and output lists are merged to form a
36  * new list containing only the common elements of each list. In the case
37  * that there were no common elements, a format conversion is necessary.
38  * Otherwise, the lists are merged, and all other links which reference
39  * either of the format lists involved in the merge are also affected.
40  *
41  * For example, consider the filter chain:
42  * filter (a) --> (b) filter (b) --> (c) filter
43  *
44  * where the letters in parenthesis indicate a list of formats supported on
45  * the input or output of the link. Suppose the lists are as follows:
46  * (a) = {A, B}
47  * (b) = {A, B, C}
48  * (c) = {B, C}
49  *
50  * First, the first link's lists are merged, yielding:
51  * filter (a) --> (a) filter (a) --> (c) filter
52  *
53  * Notice that format list (b) now refers to the same list as filter list (a).
54  * Next, the lists for the second link are merged, yielding:
55  * filter (a) --> (a) filter (a) --> (a) filter
56  *
57  * where (a) = {B}.
58  *
59  * Unfortunately, when the format lists at the two ends of a link are merged,
60  * we must ensure that all links which reference either pre-merge format list
61  * get updated as well. Therefore, we have the format list structure store a
62  * pointer to each of the pointers to itself.
