/**
 * @defgroup lavd Special devices muxing/demuxing library
 * @{
 * Libavdevice is a complementary library to @ref libavf "libavformat". It
 * provides various "special" platform-specific muxers and demuxers, e.g. for
 * grabbing devices, audio capture and playback etc. As a consequence, the
 * (de)muxers in libavdevice are of the AVFMT_NOFILE type (they use their own
 * I/O functions). The filename passed to avformat_open_input() often does not
 * refer to an actually existing file, but has some special device-specific
 * meaning - e.g. for x11grab it is the display name.
 *
 * To use libavdevice, simply call avdevice_register_all() to register all
 * compiled muxers and demuxers. They all use standard libavformat API.

 *
 * List of capablities that can be queried:
 *  - Capabilities valid for both audio and video devices:
 *    - codec:          supported audio/video codecs.
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_INT (AVCodecID value)
 *  - Capabilities valid for audio devices:
 *    - sample_format:  supported sample formats.
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_INT (AVSampleFormat value)
 *    - sample_rate:    supported sample rates.
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_INT
 *    - channels:       supported number of channels.
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_INT
 *    - channel_layout: supported channel layouts.
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_INT64
 *  - Capabilities valid for video devices:
 *    - pixel_format:   supported pixel formats.
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_INT (AVPixelFormat value)
 *    - window_size:    supported window sizes (describes size of the window size presented to the user).
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_IMAGE_SIZE
 *    - frame_size:     supported frame sizes (describes size of provided video frames).
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_IMAGE_SIZE
 *    - fps:            supported fps values
 *                      type: AV_OPT_TYPE_RATIONAL
 *
 * Value of the capability may be set by user using av_opt_set() function
 * and AVDeviceCapabilitiesQuery object. Following queries will
 * limit results to the values matching already set capabilities.
 * For example, setting a codec may impact number of formats or fps values
 * returned during next query. Setting invalid value may limit results to zero.
 *
 * Example of the usage basing on opengl output device:
 *
 * @code
 *  AVFormatContext *oc = NULL;
 *  AVDeviceCapabilitiesQuery *caps = NULL;
 *  AVOptionRanges *ranges;
 *  int ret;
 *
 *  if ((ret = avformat_alloc_output_context2(&oc, NULL, "opengl", NULL)) < 0)

 *  if (avdevice_capabilities_create(&caps, oc, NULL) < 0)

 *
 *  //query codecs
 *  if (av_opt_query_ranges(&ranges, caps, "codec", AV_OPT_MULTI_COMPONENT_RANGE)) < 0)
 *      goto fail;
 *  //pick codec here and set it
 *  av_opt_set(caps, "codec", AV_CODEC_ID_RAWVIDEO, 0);
 *
 *  //query format
 *  if (av_opt_query_ranges(&ranges, caps, "pixel_format", AV_OPT_MULTI_COMPONENT_RANGE)) < 0)
 *      goto fail;
 *  //pick format here and set it
 *  av_opt_set(caps, "pixel_format", AV_PIX_FMT_YUV420P, 0);
