[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 06/12] avfilter/avfilter: make filter_activate_default request frames on behalf of sinks

[Marton Balint]

Sinks without an activate callback have no means to request frames in their
input, therefore the default activate callback should do it for them.

Fixes ticket #11624.
Fixes ticket #10988.
Fixes ticket #10990.
