I have read that.

There is not a VP8 parser in Gstreamer, while a parser would not work 
when deal with the secure video(userspace can't access the data context 
at all).

Besides, this adds extra work for the application for a stateful codec 
driver. The application need to parser the bitstream and track the dpb.

I don't mind if you could fix the nonfiction mechanism for those 
non-display frame and internal reference state.

That could be requirement for codec firmware that its driver could 
support this DELETE_BUF ioctl() feature.
