[linux-dvb] play_iframe() improvement?

[Klaus Schmidinger <Klaus.Schmidinger@cadsoft.de>]

I was thinking about the method by which play_iframe() (in dvb.c)
attempts to display a still picture. Apparently it has to send
the same I-frame until 400000 byte have been transmitted to fill
up the decoder's buffer.

Now I read in the AV711x data sheet that in "Scan" mode the decoder
 
  "Searches for the first I picture, decodes it, displays it, then continues
   searching for next I picture and repeats"

this sounds as if it then would not be necessary to fill up the buffer,
but rather as if the decoder would display an I-frame as soon as it has
received one. Unfortunately, despite several attempts to implement this,
I didn't have any success. Could one of the driver developers please
comment on this and let me know if I'm completely wrong here?
