TODO

• add minimal tools number sufficient for this works:
  • encoding - generate video from image and audio track
  • decoding - generate number of images from video
  • rescaling video
  • resampling audio
  • convert formats
• refactor code, reducing type dependencies among themselves
• restructure code to use go types instead FFmpeg types everywheare it possible (e.g. AVIOContext -> io.Writer)
• add comprehensive documentation
• (maybe never) rewrite code with pure go, rejection of cgo
