A function name should tell what the function does rather than what
the function returns. This also avoids possible conflicts
(e.g. between a function and a public list of all supported formats),
and clarifies the code.
Breaks audio API/ABI, add a backward compatibility layer for video
API/ABI.
The additional parameters were never used and are complicating the
function interface. Also, they were inconsistent with the way the
video API works.
So this assumes that a requested samples buffer will have *always* the
format specified in the requested link.
This breaks audio filtering API and ABI.
