Yes, you are right. But I don't understand how will it work in case of Android 
MediaCodec/MediaDrm API.
Let me remind. In case of Android MediaCodec API, we have to pass sample data 
to MediaCodec by using queueInputBuffer() as already implemented in 
mediacodec_jni/ndk.c.
For encrypted samples, we just need to setup keys before and use 
queueSecureInputBuffer() which takes sample buffer and metadata with IV 
(different for each sample). 
So, I don't see any special module to decrypt Widevine protected stream. Also, 
we cannot get decrypted samples in case of Widevine (L1 and L2 security layers 
forbid it).

Yes, that is another clue for me. How to pass decryption parameters from 
adaptive demuxer to another module? Could you please show me any example in 
the current code?

Thanks! I have read it all. I didn't find good solution  for my case. Your 
patch is nice for me and I don't see serious design problems with it. 

Best regards,
