Description Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) 2014-03-27 21:10:20 UTC 
avvideodec has no cue on how many buffers it will need to decode (at least I didn't find that information in library). Hence it can't negotiation the minimum amount of buffers it need. This means that if the buffer pool has a finit amount of buffer (most v4l2 buffer pool), it will stall, or fail.

My suggestion would be to reject buffers pools that don't grow. Performance whise it should be very similar, since very few buffers pool support video alignement, required for libav direct rendering.
