Gwenole Beauchesne 5a3e51472d decoder: h264: fix activation of picture and sequence parameters.
At the time the first VCL NAL unit of a primary coded picture is found,
and if that NAL unit was parsed to be an SPS or PPS, then the entries
in the parser may have been overriden. This means that, when the picture
is to be decoded, slice_hdr->pps could point to an invalid (the next)
PPS entry.

So, one way to solve this problem is to not use the parser PPS and
SPS info but rather maintain our own activation chain in the decoder.

Overview
--------

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

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

  * `vaapiencode_<CODEC>' is used to encode into MPEG-2, H.264 videos,
    depending on the actual value of <CODEC> (mpeg2, h264, etc.). By
    default, raw format bitstreams are generated, so the result may be
    piped to an actual muxer like qtmux for MP4 containers.

  * `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.

  * `vaapipostproc' is used to postprocess video/x-vaapi-surface
    surfaces, for e.g. deinterlacing, denoising and sharpening.

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


Features
--------

  * VA-API support from 0.29 to 0.34
  * JPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and VC-1 ad-hoc decoders
  * MPEG-2, H.264 ad-hoc encoders
  * OpenGL rendering through VA/GLX or GLX texture-from-pixmap + FBO
  * Support for the Wayland display server
  * Support for headless decode pipelines with VA/DRM
  * Support for major HW video decoding solutions on Linux (AMD, Intel, NVIDIA)
  * Support for HW video encoding on Intel HD Graphics hardware
  * Support for VA Video Processing APIs (VA/VPP)
    - Scaling and color conversion
    - Image enhancement filters: Sharpening, Noise Reduction
    - Advanced deinterlacing: Motion-Adaptive, Motion-Compensated


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

Software requirements

  * GStreamer 0.10.x:
      libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.28)
      libgstreamer0.10-dev (>= 0.10.36)
        or with GstBaseSink::query()
      libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev (>= 0.10.36)
      libgstreamer-plugins-bad0.10-dev (>= 0.10.22.1)
        or with GstVideoContext, GstSurfaceBuffer, codecparsers

  * GStreamer 1.0.x (including GStreamer 1.2, 1.3):
      libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.28)
      libgstreamer1.0-dev (>= 1.0.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev (>= 1.0.0)
      libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev (>= 1.0.0)

  * Renderers:
      DRM: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libdrm-dev, libudev-dev
      X11: libva-dev (>= 1.0.1)
      GLX: libva-dev (>= 1.0.3)
      Wayland: libva-dev (>= 1.1.0), libwayland-dev (>= 0.95.0)

Hardware requirements

  * AMD platforms with UVD2 (XvBA supported)

Usage
-----

  VA elements are automatically plugged into GStreamer pipelines. So,
  using playbin (or playbin2 with GStreamer 0.10) should work as is.
  However, here are a few alternate pipelines that could be manually
  constructed.

  * Play an H.264 video with an MP4 container in fullscreen mode
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/video.mp4 ! \
      qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink fullscreen=true

  * Play a raw MPEG-2 interlaced stream
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/mpeg2.bits ! \
      mpegvideoparse ! vaapidecode ! vaapipostproc ! vaapisink

  * Convert from one pixel format to another, while also downscaling
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=yuy2 width=1280 height=720 ! \
      vaapipostproc format=nv12 height=480 ! vaapisink

  * Encode a 1080p stream in raw I420 format into H.264
  $ gst-launch-1.0 -v filesrc location=/path/to/raw_video.yuv ! \
      videoparse format=i420 width=1920 height=1080 framerate=30/1 ! \
      vaapiencode_h264 rate-control=cbr tune=high-compression ! \
      qtmux ! filesink location=/path/to/encoded_video.mp4
