Decoder firmware API description
================================

Note: this API is part of the decoder firmware, so it's cx23415 only.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name 	CX2341X_DEC_PING_FW
Enum 	0/0x00
Description
	This API call does nothing. It may be used to check if the firmware
	is responding.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name 	CX2341X_DEC_START_PLAYBACK
Enum 	1/0x01
Description
	Begin or resume playback.
Param[0]
	0 based frame number in GOP to begin playback from.
Param[1]
	Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal
	audio resumes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name 	CX2341X_DEC_STOP_PLAYBACK
Enum 	2/0x02
Description
	Ends playback and clears all decoder buffers. If PTS is not zero,
	playback stops at specified PTS.
Param[0]
	Display 0=last frame, 1=black
	Note: this takes effect immediately, so if you want to wait for a PTS,
	then use '0', otherwise the screen goes to black at once.
	You can call this later (even if there is no playback) with a 1 value
	to set the screen to black.
Param[1]
	PTS low
Param[2]
	PTS high

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name 	CX2341X_DEC_SET_PLAYBACK_SPEED
Enum 	3/0x03
Description
	Playback stream at speed other than normal. There are two modes of
	operation:
	    Smooth: host transfers entire stream and firmware drops unused
		    frames.
	    Coarse: host drops frames based on indexing as required to achieve
		    desired speed.
Param[0]
	Bitmap:
	    0:7  0 normal
		 1 fast only "1.5 times"
		 n nX fast, 1/nX slow
	    30   Framedrop:
		     '0' during 1.5 times play, every other B frame is dropped
		     '1' during 1.5 times play, stream is unchanged (bitrate
			 must not exceed 8mbps)
	    31   Speed:
		     '0' slow
		     '1' fast
	Note: n seems to be limited to 2. Anything higher does not result in
	faster playback. Instead the host should start dropping frames.
Param[1]
	Direction: 0=forward, 1=reverse
	Note: to make reverse playback work you have to write full GOPs in
	reverse order.
Param[2]
	Picture mask:
	    1=I frames
	    3=I, P frames
	    7=I, P, B frames
Param[3]
	B frames per GOP (for reverse play only)
	Note: apparently this does not work. For reverse play I can only make it
	work by selecting I or I and P frames in the Picture mask.
Param[4]
	Mute audio: 0=disable, 1=enable
Param[5]
	Display 0=frame, 1=field
Param[6]
	Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal audio
	resumes.
