Changing the BSF to a linked list.

Otherwise, you could just give access with an index:

/**
 * Get the Nth BSF. The first is at index 0. If N is greater
 * than the index of the last BSF, the function will return 
 * NULL, at which point you should stop iterating.
 */
const AVBitStreamFilter *av_bsf_by_index(int index);
