Mostly af_format

Here's an updated patch attached.

I decided to take this way of doing it because I didn't wanted to cause
more 10l bugs and recieve more cartloads of coke. But if you accept that
filters shouldn't change the parameters without REINIT than just ignore
the play_fixed stuff in my patch and just change the play in af_format
to what i proposed.

An explanation of the af_format changes:
play_swapendian is just a byteswapping one, which is the most common
case. Other common case is converting from float to s16. These are
implemented, however, s16 to float is still missing.
