Pixels are copied from the D3D9 surface of the decoder to the D3D9
surface of the display FIFO. It's not just passing along meta data.
The decoder surfaces belong to the avcodec dxva_context and must not
be used for anything else. That was the source of some of the weird
ordering issues I was having.
