[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Get rid of p

Hello,

By the message subject you probably asked yourself "what 'p'?".

Exactly, I ask myself the same question when reading the source.

I find one-letter variable names hard to grep for and hard to 
understand. Are patches to get rid of them or use more descriptive names 
welcome?

Particular cases that come to my mind are:
  - 's', used throughout FFmpeg to mean context. I suggest to change 
them to ctx;
  - 'p', used in video encoders for something that I still have no idea 
what is doing there.
