[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 3/4] avfiltergraph: document a catch in request_oldest().

[Nicolas George]

This one is tricky. Consider a graph with two sink links, A and B.
request_oldest() requests on A, and A returns EOF. This EOF causes
a filter to flush pending frames to B; they are unrequested.
Then request_oldest() moves on to B, and B returns EOF.
