I have to admit there is precedence that it is not, as we changed names before. On the other hand I would like to point out that we have functions to select by this name, and as such - and the fact that these renames usually break _something_ - I would strongly prefer to consider this API changes. If nothing else because we shouldn't cause people trouble for a change that is of no particular significance. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
