I agree with you, but presently we don't follow strictly the stateful
encoder spec. In this spirit I think proposed patch is applicable to the
current state of the encoder driver, and your comment should be
addressed in the follow-up patches where we have to re-factor a bit
start/stop_streaming according to the encoder documentation.
But until then we have to get that patch.
