This makes no sense to me. In push mode, the allocator is also the format 
controller. It is free to switch pool if it needs to, or if it is simpler, or 
to keep the same pool.

The need to reallocate buffers is anyway in general dependent on the specific 
allocator/decoder, so I don't even follow how passing the format in generic 
functions helps at all.

I also cannot relate this to any plan that was agreed upon in the past.
