add support :)
i will not accpet colorspace conversation from usefull formats
in the demuxer, ive never accepted that in the past either
for totaly obfuscated formats which no display device or encoder would be
able to use directly id make an exception but for normal 16bit rgb colorspace
i will not

IMO its not so hard to move your 16->8bit loop into swscale, iam not asking
that you rewrite swscale to actually be able to convert with 16bit precission

but converting in the demuxer means that no user application no matter if it
supports 16bit rgb or not will be forced to live with 8bit precission

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
