ffmpeg doesn't support NV12 as input, but can convert to NV12 /
NV21. So we can create a stream with pix_fmt nv12 but there is no mean
to visually test it (e.g. with ffplay) or convert it back to a stream
which is playable by ffmpeg, but maybe someone can suggest some way to
display such a format e.g. with mplayer or vlc.

Also I wonder how hard would be to add it as an input format in lsws.

Please could you clarify the last sentence?

I explained why I consider the patch correct, that's also the reason
for which all the filters which claims to work with NVXX are indeed
broken by that, I cannot test but then we have no means to test the
original code either (at least not with ffmpeg tools).
