So I guess in this case we should try and see. I could try to look into it at
some point in the future too if you're not particulary interested.

I agree, it's best to expose the maximum supported resolution by the hardware,
even if it means running at a lower fps.

Do you know if we have a way to report some estimation of the maximum supported
fps to userspace? It would be useful to let userspace decide whether it's a
better fit than software decoding.
