It would be nice if the commit message said what the auto mode does. I dug 
through the code and found that it enables it by default on >= 4.3 and 
disables it otherwise. That might be a sane choice in general, but since 
we've got the opaque rendering now, it might actually work pretty well on 
4.1 and 4.2 as well (it's mostly the pixel access which has been 
underspecified and which has been improved in 4.3, direct rendering has 
mostly worked I think, and as far as I've seen, that case has been the 
main focus of those who made the MediaCodec API).
