Hi Kamil,

When i first notice this MFC specific control, I believed it was use to
produce I-Frame only streams (rather then a toggle, to produce one key-
frame on demand). So I wanted to verify the implementation to make sure
what Wu-Cheng is doing make sense. Though, I found that we set:

  ctx->force_frame_type = ctrl->val;

And never use that value anywhere else in the driver code. Hopefully
I'm just missing something, but if it's not implemented, maybe it's
better not to expose it. Otherwise, this may lead to hard to find
streaming issues. I do hope we can add this feature though, as it's
very useful feature for real time encoding.

cheers,
Nicolas
