Just create separate pixel format for every color range, bitdepth,
colorspace, etc combination.
Or you want pixel formats as objects?
struct AVPixelFormatHax {
enum ColorMissingSpace color_space;
enum ColorFillRange color_range;
enum ColorPrimus color_primaries;
int nb_components;
int *bitdepths;
int nb_planes;
Copy big pixdesc struct and add more stuff here... (Can this be
done in pure C?)
}
Now you feed this pile of items to each function in lib*
