[FFmpeg-cvslog] mmaldec: limit internal buffering

[wm4]

ffmpeg | branch: master | wm4 <nfxjfg at googlemail.com> | Thu Apr 14 12:21:26 2016 +0200| [74beead9bd596180bcac6108548fc0a86d8eb4ae] | committer: Anton Khirnov

mmaldec: limit internal buffering

This uses a new MMAL feature, which limits the number of extra frames
that can be buffered within the decoder. VIDEO_MAX_NUM_CALLBACKS can
be defined as positive or negative number. Positive numbers are
absolute, and can lead to deadlocks if the user underestimates the
number of required buffers. Negative numbers specify the number of extra
buffers, e.g. -1 means no extra buffer, (-1-N) means N extra buffers.

Set a gratuitous default of -11 (N=10). This is much lower than the
firmware default, which appears to be 96.

This is backwards compatible, but needs a symbol only present in newer
firmware headers. (It's an enum item, so it requires a check in
configure.)
