Description Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) 2014-05-24 23:26:18 UTC 
Freshly allocated memory are twice the expected size. If that is exact, it's a large waste of resources, but also the containing buffer will report a larger size then expected, which will cause the buffers to always get freed instead of being pooled back.

Tested with: gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src io-mode=userptr ! glimagesink
