 * Note that this function is not meant to be the sole scheduling mechanism

 * in a balanced way under normal circumstances.
 *
 * Also note that AVERROR_EOF does not mean that frames did not arrive on
 * some of the sinks during the process.
 * When there are multiple sink links, in case the requested link
 * returns an EOF, this may cause a filter to flush pending frames
 * which are sent to another sink link, although unrequested.
 *
 * @return  the return value of ff_request_frame(),
 *          or AVERROR_EOF if all links returned AVERROR_EOF
