Keep in mind, no one did a MultiView and/or SVC implementation in
userspace yet. Multiview seems to share a lot of interlacing, which
ffmpeg implementation covers, but some validation would be nice.

As for SVC, I only started looking at that this means for decoding. It
looks like buffer "holding" mechanism is mostly what we need, I'd would
simply like to verify, as I was told that scaling down might be
required when SVC stream is missing (but perhaps this is optional ?)

Thanks a lot of working on this.
