FTR, to my knowledge there is no dynamic resolution change support in
the firmware, as there is no signal (interrupt nor picture run return
value) to indicate that different headers were parsed.

I am planning to add the initial source change event required by the
current decoder API documentation, but I am afraid there will be no
support for source changes due to mid-stream resolution changes due to
firmware limitations.
