As I already noticed decoder can reuse the same buffer for next frames
so the only way to get control of this - to create buffers for decoder by
yourself
(and create several such buffers to switch between them).
But decoding maybe much more complicated than you think.

However I didn't find the way for that in current API (only in encoding you
can provide your own frames).
Maybe you will be more lucky but in general I recommend you just do copy if
you really need it ;)
