/**
 * This API is intended as a helper for filters that have several video
 * input and need to combine them somehow. If the inputs have different or
 * variable frame rate, getting the input frames to match requires a rather
 * complex logic and a few user-tunable options.
 *
 * In this API, when a set of synchronized input frames is ready to be
 * procesed is called a frame event. Frame event can be generated in
 * response to input frames on any or all inputs and the handling of
 * situations where some stream extend beyond the beginning or the end of
 * others can be configured.
 *
 * The basic working of this API is the following: set the on_event
 * callback, then call ff_framesync_activate() from the filter's activate
 * callback.
