+ set. It is typically used with stateless decoders where multiple
+ output buffers each decode to a slice of the decoded frame.
+ Applications can set this flag when queueing the output buffer
+ to prevent the driver from dequeueing the capture buffer after
+ the output buffer has been decoded (i.e. the capture buffer is
+ 'held'). If the timestamp of this output buffer differs from that
+ of the previous output buffer, then that indicates the start of a
+ new frame and the previously held capture buffer is dequeued.
