This event indicate that the source bit-depth is changed during
run-time. The client must get the new format and re-allocate buffers
for it. This can usually happens with video decoder (encoders) when
the bit-stream depth is changed from 8 to 10bits or vice versa.

I started to wonder isn't COLOR_DEPTH more appropriate? Bit-depth
doesn't describe what is actually deep.

I agree. COLOR_DEPTH is a better name.
