Good point. Changed.

I must say I am not very fond of them.

More clear indeed. Changed.

The point of this example is to insist on the problem of the desync at the
stitch:

I am not sure: a filter that transforms audio into video is not the same
thing as a filter that can operate either on audio or video (or both).

> Nit: this is ambiguous, what about nb_segment_streams (or simply add a ///< doxy

Doxy added.

Ok.

Done.

> comment: number of active input segments, or number of active inputs?

Doxy added.

For segments, there is only the current one. Inputs in the current segment
are active until they reach EOF. When all inputs in the current segment have
reached EOF, we go to the next.

> Nit+: one line per option?

I find it less readable, the lines are much too long, and as such either
wrapped at any odd place or need scrolling.

> I'd find more logical to have init before uninit.

I moved init at the end to avoid forward declarations of the function
pointers inserted in the pads. I moved uninit too.

That would force me to go beyond the 80-chars limit or wrap lines at a lot
of places. There is really no ambiguity here.

> maybe add a comment here along the lines: set the output stream formats

Added.

Good catch, fixed.

> leak if rates && !layouts

Hopefully fixed.

> comment: set the formats for each corresponding segment input

Added.

> what would be the advantage of such mode?

Michael is playing with vf_scale and vf_pad to be able to digest resolution
changes. If he does succeeds, the output of concat could take advantage of
it.

> I suggest: "Input link %s parameters size:%dx%d sar:%d/%d mismatch output link %s parameters size:%dx%d sar:%d/%d mismatch\n"

Done.

If it's video, at least.

> what about "process_frame()"?

Ok.

> Nit+++: func(...) { } 
> saves some lines and looks more readable (to me).

Ok. We really should add common functions.

> nit++: tb or time_base seems less ambiguous at first reading (silencetb, streamtb, streamb?)

Changed into rate_tb.

> Concatenate ...

Changed.

Also: added get_*_buffer callbacks, fixed permissions (REUSE2 rejected), and
used a more efficient way of identifying a link. New patch incoming.
