[Libav-user] Buffered frames in avcodec h264 decoder

[Alina lifshits]

Hello,
 
I am using avcodec decoder to decode h264 stream. I noticed that the decoder buffers a few first frames before returning a decoded picture. 
The stream is from a live source and does not contains B frames. Is there a way to tell the decoder not to buffer frames, or maybe to buffer just 1 or 2 at most?
Since I am working with a live video, it very important for me to keep small latency.
 
Thanks,
Alina
