[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 00/33] avdevice (mostly dshow) enhancements

This patch series implements a series of features, mostly enhancing the
dshow avdevice, but also adding new functionality to avformat and
avutil. This whole patchset enabled users of the FFmpeg API to fully
query and control a dshow device, making FFmpeg a nice backend for any
program that needs access to, e.g., a webcam.

All review comments have been incorporated unless otherwise replied in
the respective threads.

Querying the capabilities of a dshow device is now also possible on a
device that is already opened. I expect/guess however that it may not be
possible to achieve that for all of the avdevices, so in principle it is
important that this patchset adds the ability to create an allocated but
unopened AVFormatContext+AVInputFormat with the new function
avformat_alloc_input_context().
