Using just the entropy contained in the spec. The entropy for this one is
static.

Yes, the entropy decoding of the frame data requires default tables, the deltas
from the compressed headers, and for non-keyframe the counts of symbols in the
previous decoding.

All this is being moved inside the kernel.

Correct. We have some really eirly code demonstrating it (will all be published
LGPL V2+ and submitted for including in GStreamer). In FFMPEG this is know as
VP5/5 Range decoder, so nothing new here.

Widewine, Playready and other folks will always dictate their way. I guess I
only wanted to mention publicly so that folks visiting this are not too
surprised of the detour and contorsion needed. We are not implementing this as
we speak. For the browser version of Widevine, I don't think this issue will
raise.

Exact, there "exist a solution" ;-P From a API perspective, we simply visited
this as we where told it was not possible at all, so we were curious upon why.
And this is slightly specific to this HW design, newer Rockchip design handle
compress header decoding in HW, so I suspect other vendors will follow this path
in the future.
