The idea behind adding it to the common shared format structure is to make
it a property available to any filter. For example, the liba52
filter/decoder could also do scaling and when this filter is used in the
auto chain generation, it can advertise it's ability to also adjust gain,
thus saving the insertion of an additional filter, i.e. The gain filter,
in the chain.
