Decoder firmware API description
================================
Note: this API is part of the decoder firmware, so it's cx23415 only.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name CX2341X_DEC_PING_FW
Enum 0/0x00
Description
This API call does nothing. It may be used to check if the firmware
is responding.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name CX2341X_DEC_START_PLAYBACK
Enum 1/0x01
Description
Begin or resume playback.
Param[0]
0 based frame number in GOP to begin playback from.
Param[1]
Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal
audio resumes. (This is not implemented in the firmware, leave at 0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name CX2341X_DEC_STOP_PLAYBACK
Enum 2/0x02
Description
Ends playback and clears all decoder buffers. If PTS is not zero,
playback stops at specified PTS.
Param[0]
Display 0=last frame, 1=black
Note: this takes effect immediately, so if you want to wait for a PTS,
then use '0', otherwise the screen goes to black at once.
You can call this later (even if there is no playback) with a 1 value
to set the screen to black.
Param[1]
PTS low
Param[2]
PTS high
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name CX2341X_DEC_SET_PLAYBACK_SPEED
Enum 3/0x03
Description
Playback stream at speed other than normal. There are two modes of
operation:
Smooth: host transfers entire stream and firmware drops unused
frames.
Coarse: host drops frames based on indexing as required to achieve
desired speed.
Param[0]
Bitmap:
0:7 0 normal
1 fast only "1.5 times"
n nX fast, 1/nX slow
30 Framedrop:
'0' during 1.5 times play, every other B frame is dropped
'1' during 1.5 times play, stream is unchanged (bitrate
must not exceed 8mbps)
31 Speed:
'0' slow
'1' fast
Note: n is limited to 2. Anything higher does not result in
faster playback. Instead the host should start dropping frames.
Param[1]
Direction: 0=forward, 1=reverse
Note: to make reverse playback work you have to write full GOPs in
reverse order.
Param[2]
Picture mask:
1=I frames
3=I, P frames
7=I, P, B frames
Param[3]
B frames per GOP (for reverse play only)
Note: for reverse playback the Picture Mask should be set to I or I, P.
Adding B frames to the mask will result in corrupt video. This field
has to be set to the correct value in order to keep the timing correct.
Param[4]
Mute audio: 0=disable, 1=enable
Param[5]
Display 0=frame, 1=field
Param[6]
Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal audio
resumes. (Not implemented in the firmware, leave at 0)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in the current playback direction.
Param[0]
0=frame, 1=top field, 2=bottom field

Param[0]
Memory address of link list
Param[1]
Total # of bytes to transfer

DMA type (0=MPEG, 1=OSD, 2=YUV)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name CX2341X_DEC_PAUSE_PLAYBACK
Enum 13/0x0D
Description
Freeze playback immediately. In this mode, when internal buffers are
full, no more data will be accepted and data request IRQs will be
masked.
Param[0]
Display: 0=last frame, 1=black
