The documentation for MFXVideoDECODE_DecodeFrameAsync says:
=========
MFX_WRN_DEVICE_BUSY
Hardware device is currently busy. Call this function again in a few milliseconds.
=========
So if documented way does not work it looks like we have issue inside SDK.
But I will try to double check sample_decode code.

By the way, what is your platform? Linux? Do you use a patched kernel
recommended by Intel for specific sdk version?
