There seems to be no other data except that of `frame->data[0]`.

I verified, there is nothing beyond `frame->data[0] +
frame->linesize[0]*frame->height`.

frame->data[1] has another address but there is no data.

frame->buf[0]->data and frame->extended_data  both point to the same
address as frame->data[0].

no side_data or extended_buf,

opaque_ref is NULL

frame->ch_layout->order is AV_CHANNEL_ORDER_UNSPEC

In the end, it comes down to this questions:

1. where are UV data of YUV when decoded by cuda ? Y is at frame->data[0].
2. frame->linesize[1] is set too, what is this for ?
