Sorry to bother again for this, I was almost committing the pixdescs
definition, I noted you used "monoblack" for the PIX_FMT_MONOBLACK
pixdesc, this maybe means that your subconsious agrees with me that
there should be a *strict* correspondance between PIX_FMT_ macros and
names, or we should fix that.

BTW the same PIX_FMT_/"name" inconsistency also happens for other
formats, follows the complete list:

PIX_FMT_MONOWHITE       -> "monow"
PIX_FMT_MONOBLACK       -> "monob"
PIX_FMT_GRAY8           -> "gray"
PIX_FMT_XVMC_MPEG2_MC   -> "xvmcmc"
PIX_FMT_XVMC_MPEG2_IDCT -> "xvmcidct"

So the question is: should we keep this in pixdescs too or should we
normalize PIX_FMT_ macros and names?

I already pedantically expressed my position.

Regards.
