Why doesn't it work here? incaps is a subset of outcaps (they are the same
except that outcaps has the additional endianness field, which shouldn't be
there for 8 bit anyway btw).

If there should be an assertion or not should be discussed though. I've talked
with ds about this 1-2 years ago and the reason why he added it was, that audio
filters by definition are working on one format and don't convert it to
something else. I agree that in that context the is_equal() is wrong but
is_always_compatible() would be the correct thing to do (in/outcaps must
describe the same format but outcaps can be more specific, i.e. can have more
fields).

What do you think? Shall we remove the assertion (and the informat==outformat
restriction) from audiofilter?
