Hmm, so there's some packets before the first SPS/PPS? In that case, we 
could perhaps try not to feed any packets to the MediaCodec decoder until 
the first SPS/PPS (because the decoder won't really be able to do anything 
with it anyway before that)? Or is there something else?

If you can send me the sample I may try to have a look in the android 
internals (perhaps not today but maybe some day), if there's something I 
can fix or write a report out of.
