Gwenole Beauchesne ab94048ea0 decoder: fix double buffer free with some VA drivers.
vaRenderPicture() implicitly disposes VA buffers. Some VA drivers would
push the VA buffer object into a list of free buffers to be re-used. However,
reference pictures (and data) that was kept would explicitly release the VA
buffer object later on, thus possibly destroying a valid (re-used) object.

Besides, some other VA drivers don't support correctly the vaRenderPicture()
semantics for VA buffers disposal and would leak memory if there is no explicit
vaDestroyBuffer(). The temporary workaround is to explcitily destroy VA buffers
right after vaRenderPicture(). All VA drivers need to be aligned.

gstreamer-vaapi helper libraries and plugin elements are available
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 0.32
  * MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and VC-1 ad-hoc decoders
  * 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

  * libva-dev >= 1.0.3 (VA/GLX)
  * 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, codecparsers

  If codecparsers-based decoders are not used:

  * libavcodec-dev >= 0.6
      or with <libavcodec/vaapi.h>

Hardware requirements

  * AMD platforms with UVD2 (XvBA supported)
  * Intel Eaglelake (G45)
  * Intel Ironlake, Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge (HD Graphics)
  * Intel Poulsbo (US15W)
  * Intel Medfield or Cedar Trail
  * 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
