That libavfilter is supposed to be more general.
I realize that I forgot that it is possible to send a VFCTRL to a specific
filter if you know you want to change exactly that one.
Still, since libavfilter is a reimplementation thinking of a design that
allows avoiding this issue would make sense I'd say.
Anyway, that has nothing to do with the original issue, for which we
can just say at least inside MPlayer the hue etc. filters can be adjusted
dynamically (I haven't looked at your patch I admit).
