This would be interesting to implement in new streaming ioctls.

There are more reasons besides codec support why you would want that
(i.e. a resolution change on an HDMI input). It's kind of supported
since you can allocate larger buffers than needed for the current format,
but currently there is no way to see when a new resolution is received.

Related to this is the fact that while you can add new buffers on the
fly (CREATE_BUFS), you can't delete unused buffers. Also, the max number
of buffers (32) is too small for some of the more advanced scenarios.

This really needs to be addressed as well in new streaming ioctls.
