Hi,

I wonder if there are strict requirements for alignment of AVFrame buffers. Yes, it is usually aligned by default, but there are filters, like crop or pad which tries to avoid copying data even at the cost of breaking the alignment. This unfortunately causes crashes for code which requires it, some examples:

- the zscale filter only checks input buffer alignment but not output
  buffer alignment, therefore might crash if a later pad filter provides
  an unaligned get_buffer callback for a filter chain.

- the blend/tblend filter has a similar problem, it's ASM code is using
  aligned movs for output. (not for input however).

- the dnxhd encoder depends on aligment of its input buffers.

How this should be fixed?

- Change pad/crop filters to only do "smart" pad/crop if alignment can be guaranteed? Maybe a user option should be added to enable "unsafe" mode?

- Add checks for aligment where it is actually required, e.g. in dnxhd encoder or blend/zscale filter?

- Change blend code to use unaligned movs even for output?

Thanks,
Marton
