You are right, what I wrote does not make sense :)
I wanted to stress the fact that to me the "important part" of the
library is the infrastructure providing a common API capable of
supporting every kind of filter...
Filters can be "internal" (implemented in libavfilter itself) or
external (implemented through wrappers to other libraries).

Ok; I'll search for my notes, try to write down something that makes
sense from them, and post my ideas on the mailing list.
