With the release of iOS 16 and soon macOS Ventura, Apple platforms will finally support AVIF.
(AV1 support for videos is still not available yet sadly.) See: https://caniuse.com/avif
I'm interested in using AVIF for high bit depth images on these devices. In December last year, libvips added support for 8/10/12 bit HEIC and AVIF load and save: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/pull/2596
However, AFAICT neither of the govips versions of the export parameters take the bitdepth argument. Would it be possible to add support for this to govips? I could create a PR if I could get some code pointers. I can see the export params structs but I'm not entirely sure what else needs to happen to pass that to the underlying libvips.
