This fix breaks Hardware-accelerated decoding on OSX through VDA.

I get these kind of errors:
A:   1.0 V:   0.0 A-V:  1.025 ct:  0.000   0/  0 ??% ??% ??,?% 218 0

Reverting just that commit restores H.264 decoding via VDA.

So what can I do to have the best of both worlds, that is, VDA
decoding and the pixel format changes issue fixed by this commit?

mit freundlichen Grüßen,
