What I understood from Hugues earlier mail (to you and me, off-list), was 
that they wanted to see in what format different OMX callers send data, to 
make their decoders interoperable to as many as possible.

Which is a good idea, but the VLC omxil code shouldn't be taken as 
reference for that IMO, since we only should add codec mappings that we 
actually know work with some preexisting decoder, not invent our own (by 
just blindly sending data in whatever form we get it from the 
VLC/libavformat demuxers).
