From bab0f7df5672524d403ca300d8d6b9f1bf218fd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Plowman Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2021 10:15:07 +0000 Subject: pipeline: raspberrypi: Fix under-allocation of embedded data buffers The code was reducing the number of raw stream buffers allocated when the application is providing some of its own. However, it was not taking account of the fact that the application cannot supply embedded data buffers, so it must always allocate a reasonable minimum number of these buffers (possibly more than the number of raw stream buffers) to prevent frame drops.
