Make the audio_format argument non-const.  Allow the open() method to
modify it, to indicate that it wants a different input audio format
than the one specified.  Check that condition in chain_filter_open(),
and fail.

Don't close child filters in the filter() method.

After we've been hit by Large File Support problems several times in
the past week (which only occur on 32 bit platforms, which I don't
have), this is yet another attempt to fix the issue.
