Gwenole Beauchesne 4a46b5d6c4 decoder: retain proxy surface until the GstVaapiPicture is destroyed.
Keep a valid reference to the proxy in GstVaapiPicture so that frames
marked as "used for reference" could be kept during the lifetime of the
picture. i.e. don't release them too soon as they could be re-used right
away.

under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1+

Overview
--------

gstreamer-vaapi consists in a collection of VA-API based plugins for
GStreamer and helper libraries.

  * `vaapidecode' is used to decode MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, VC-1, WMV3
    videos to video/x-vaapi-surfaces surfaces, depending on the
    underlying HW capabilities.

  * `vaapiupload' is used to convert from video/x-raw-yuv pixels to
    video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces.

  * `vaapidownload' is used to convert from video-x-vaapi-surface
    surfaces to video/x-raw-yuv pixels.

  * `vaapisink' is used to display video/x-vaapi-surface surfaces to
    screen.


Features
--------

  * VA-API support from 0.29 to 0.31
  * OpenGL rendering through VA/GLX or GLX texture-from-pixmap + FBO
  * Support for major HW video decoding solutions on Linux (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA)


Requirements
------------

Software requirements

  * libgstreamer0.10-dev >= 0.10.35.1
      or with GstBaseSink::query()
  * libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev >= 0.10.35
  * libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-dev >= 0.10.22.1
      or with GstVideoContext, GstSurfaceBuffer
  * libva-dev >= 1.0.3 (VA/GLX)
  * libavcodec-dev >= 0.6
      or with <libavcodec/vaapi.h>

Hardware requirements

  * AMD platforms with UVD2 (XvBA supported)
  * Intel Eaglelake (G45)
  * Intel Ironlake (HD Graphics)
  * Intel Poulsbo (US15W)
  * NVIDIA platforms with PureVideo (VDPAU supported)


Usage
-----

  * Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
  $ gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
      qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true


Caveats
-------

  * No ad-hoc parser, vaapidecoder currently relies on FFmpeg
