/*
 * TODO
 * Callback-based API similar to dualinput.
 * Export convenient options.
 */

/**
 * This API is intended as a helper for filters that have several video
 * input and need to combine them somehow. If the inputs have different or
 * variable frame rate, getting the input frames to match requires a rather
 * complex logic and a few user-tunable options.
 *
 * In this API, when a set of synchronized input frames is ready to be
 * procesed is called a frame event. Frame event can be generated in
 * response to input frames on any or all inputs and the handling of
 * situations where some stream extend beyond the beginning or the end of
 * others can be configured.
 *
 * The basic working of this API is the following:
 *
 * - When a frame is available on any input, add it using
 *   ff_framesync_add_frame().
 *
 * - When a frame event is ready to be processed (i.e. after adding a frame
 *   or when requested on input):
 *   - call ff_framesync_next();
 *   - if fs->frame_ready is true, process the frames;
 *   - call ff_framesync_drop().
