i would suggest that first the blend code is changed to work only
on matching sample formats. That is resample the text to yuv(a) 123
when the image onto which it is drawen is yuv(a)123
this would make the code about a factor of 5 faster by not repeatly
resampling the data, i would guess.
it will also make the blend code much simpler to understand

next there is not just one way to blend a rgba/yuva bitmap onto
another, there are multiple ways
a enum should be added to select which is to be used.
Iam happy to help find / list the equations for that

this code could then also be used by vf_overlay

Thanks
