I guess that instead of polling for the AVBufferRef to be unreferenced,
I can associate a sync (ie a sempahore) to each buffer, take it on
release and post the semaphore on the AVBufferRefs being unreferenced.
that is actually pretty clean in terms of cpu usage.
That would just freeze an API user calling avcodec_close(), when it
keeps around decoded AVFrames for later use.
yes I understand, but it does avoid using the CPU to poll for the buffer
release (an incremental improvement)
but yes I think that the message is that even though this proposal might
suffice for simple video players (my tests) is not good enough for other
users requiring the decoded frame for post processing.
is this a blocker to upstream or could I continue working with it
flagging the encoder/decoder as EXPERIMENTAL? the current situation at
least keeps video players happy.
