Both before and after that commit that particular field has only served to validate that the user was aware of whether the library was compiled for 16bpp or not.

If it really is this, then the API was documented wrong, and it does
some weird things.

e.g. x265_picture_init() copies it over into the x265_picture.bitDepth field,
which sure does look like *input* depth...

I may be somewhat grumpy due to coming back with my inbox full of people
blaming me.
