ffmpeg TODO list:
----------------

Fabrice's TODO list: (unordered)
-------------------
Short term:

- av_read_frame() API 
- seeking API and example in ffplay
- parse_only mode
- use AVFMTCTX_DISCARD_PKT in ffplay so that DV has a chance to work
- add RTSP regression test (both client and server)
- make ffserver allocate AVFormatContext
- clean up (incompatible change, for 0.5.0): 
    * AVStream -> AVComponent
    * AVFormatContext -> AVInputStream/AVOutputStream
    * suppress rate_emu from AVCodecContext
- add av_log() in libavcodec and suppress all printf
- add new float/integer audio filterting and conversion : suppress
  CODEC_ID_PCM_xxc and use CODEC_ID_RAWAUDIO.
- fix telecine and frame rate conversion

Long term (ask me if you want to help):

- commit new imgconvert API and new PIX_FMT_xxx alpha formats
- commit new LGPL'ed float and integer-only AC3 decoder
- add WMA integer-only decoder
- integrate custom Vorbis Tremor based integer and float decoder
- add new MPEG4-AAC audio decoder (both integer-only and float version)

Michael's TODO list: (unordered) (if anyone wanna help with sth, just ask)
-------------------
- finish implementation of WMV2 j-picture
- H264 encoder
- H264 deblock filter
- H264 B frames
- H264 CABAC
- per MB ratecontrol (so VCD and such do work better)
- more optimizations
- simper rate control
- split h263.c
- mpeg2 encoding (after the ME impovements)
- format idependant quality parameter

Francois' TODO list: (unordered, without any timeframe)
-------------------
- test MACE decoder against the openquicktime one as suggested by A'rpi
- mov/mp4 muxer
- BeOS audio input grabbing backend
- BeOS video input grabbing backend
- have a REAL BeOS errno fix (return MKERROR(EXXX);), not a hack
- publish my BeOS libposix on BeBits so I can officially support ffserver :)
- check the whole code for thread-safety (global and init stuff)

Philip'a TODO list: (alphabetically ordered) (please help)
------------------
- Add a multi-ffm filetype so that feeds can be recorded into multiple files rather
  than one big file. 
- Authenticated users support -- where the authentication is in the URL
- Change ASF files so that the embedded timestamp in the frames is right rather
  than being an offset from the start of the stream
- Make ffm files more resilient to changes in the codec structures so that you
  can play old ffm files.

unassigned TODO: (stuff which should/must be done but noone seems to do it)
---------------
- use AVFrame for audio codecs too
- H264 interlacing
- rework aviobuf.c buffering strategy and fix url_fskip
- do audio resampling with bandlimited interpolation:
  http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~jos/resample/resample.html
- add seeking support to the command line
- generate optimal huffman tables for mjpeg encoding
