Can you suggest a method?

Good: after this patch, there is no mess, everything is accessed through
the buffersink API.

By "actual internal structs", I suspect you mean something similar to
this:

typedef struct AVFormatContext {
    ...
    AVFormatInternal *internal;
    ...
};

Introducing these structures was a big mistake. For the reasons, see the
recent discussion about making filter_frame() non-recursive (short of
it: it makes the actual code unreadable), plus another discussion I did
not take part about using options on these structure (short of it: a lot
of work if even possible).

I do not intend to extend that mistake in libavfilter. If possible, I
would rather like to kick it out, but fortunately the current uses are
very limited.

Regards,
