Haven't worked on that kind of thing in a long time, but I believe
you should just return 0 from the decode function to indicate you
were not able to consume the input buffer.
You should then be presented with the same packet in the next decode.
I.e. you should be able to "stall" the input by returning 0, allowing
you to produce additional outputs.
