 offsets of capture buffers

Hi Dmitry,

thanks for giving a second look a this issue.

There is a clear contradiction in this paragraph. Both the driver and the
application MUST set the data_offset.

Would it be possible to demo your idea by implementing this in a virtual driver
? vivid already have data_offset for capture in some cases, you could verify if
your idea works without any conflict in this scenario.
