   Ok, what about this strategy then:
    - change the memory buffer allocation routines to add a stride or
     margin argument
    - in the video output plugin, stop creating direct buffers if we
     just created one which doesn't have the same stride as the first
     we created

   Frankly, I think all decoders should be allowed to assume all the
buffers they get have the same size. For the moment we only have MPEG,
but if/when we start supporting additional formats, we don't want to
have to kludge all decoders.
