Now ignoring the adec number, it is questionable if anything can be done
about this in the general case, it is not clear if decoding can be split
effectively between cores in all cases, so this might not be fixable -
and is something that needs to be done in lavc anyway I guess.
Though the proposed approach could help a lot with 1080i, it might make
it possible to use -vf yadif on it, which sure is a nice thing *g* -
well, it would be even nicer if they had just gotten rid of interlaced
formats though.
