+Resample the input audio to the specified parameters, using the
+libswresample library. If none are specified then the filter will
+automatically convert between its input and output.
 
 This filter is also able to stretch/squeeze the audio data to make it match
 the timestamps or to inject silence / cut out audio to make it match the
 timestamps, do a combination of both or do neither.
 
-The filter accepts the following named parameters:
-@table @option
-
-@item min_comp
-Minimum difference between timestamps and audio data (in seconds) to trigger
-stretching/squeezing/filling or trimming of the data to make it match the
-timestamps. The default is that stretching/squeezing/filling and
-trimming is disabled (min_comp = infinite).
-
-@item min_hard_comp
-Minimum difference between timestamps and audio data (in seconds) to trigger
-adding/dropping samples to make it match the timestamps.
-This option effectively is a threshold to select between hard (trim/fill) and
-soft (squeeze/stretch) compensation. Note that all compensation is by default
-disabled through min_comp.
-The default is 0.1 seconds.
-
-@item max_soft_comp
-Maximum stretch/squeeze factor.
-Default value 0.
-
-@item tsf, internal_sample_fmt
-Internal sampling format.
-Default is automatic selection
-
-@item clev, center_mix_level
-center mix level, for rematrixing
-Default is 3.0dB
-
-@item slev, surround_mix_level
-surround mix level, for rematrixing
-Default is 3.0dB
-
-@item rmvol, rematrix_volume
-rematrix volume
-Default is 1.0
-
-@item lfe_mix_level
-Low frequency effects mix level.
-Default is 0

+The filter accepts the syntax
+[@var{sample_rate}:]@var{resampler_options}, where @var{sample_rate}
+expresses a sample rate and @var{resampler_options} is a list of
+@var{key}=@var{value} pairs, separated by ":". See the
+ffmpeg-resampler manual for the complete list of supported options.
