Yes, that's what I have noticed.
On the other hand, if I link, configure, prepare buffers and start the
'vf' and 'stat' nodes, but never queue buffers there, I can capture
from output only.

As Laurent reported above, if I leave the the 'vf' and 'stat' links
disabled, the system hangs.

For which use case, in the above reported list?
1) Main output capture only
Does 'vf' and 'stat' links needs to be enabled?
2) Main + secondary output capture
Does 'stat' link need to be enabled?
3) Secondary capture only.

I would apreciate to have a better description of the pipe_mode
control, in order to better understand when and if the library has to
modify its value and which mode to use (0=video, 1=still_capture).
