The #define FILTER and ifdefs around it need to go, this much I can
tell you without understanding what it does :S We have the git history
we don't need to keep dead code around.  

The FILTER option is for backwards compatibility for those who may be
using the proc connector today - so they do not need to immediately
switch to using the new method - the example just shows the old
method which does not break or need changes - do you still want me to
remove the FILTER? 

Is it possible to recode the sample so the format can be decided based
on cmd line argument? To be honest samples are kinda dead, it'd be best
if the code was rewritten to act as a selftest.
