I don't think this code starts to capture into the same buffer you return.
If the number of frames the v4l driver is 1 then I agree with your
assessment but it has more than 1.  The way the driver is suppose to work is
that it rotates through the set of buffers in a circular fashion probably
ping pong.  So that this can never happen.  Correct me if you think this not
true or this is only how Blackfin video4linux works.
