Fixed is not a good idea for scaling factors. You cannot accurately
represent values like 2/3 or 1/fixed. For an actual problem with
scaling, if the accurate scaling is an odd fixed number, the client
cannot specify that their scale is exactly 1/2 that, thus losing the
ability to get a 2x scale done by the compositor.
I would specify the scale as two integers defining a rational fraction.
This would also allow completely lossless multiplication with the
rational numbers used by the scaler proposal.
You may also want to allow different horizontal and vertical scales,
mostly because all plausable implementations can do this with no loss of
speed, and the scaler api allows this. You will need to define if this
is before or after the buffer transform...
