Right.

Depending on what you mean by "settled" that could be fine.

Generally for initialization, one would typically use REQBUFS(OUTPUT,
>0) (since it's not possible to change the format after the
allocation) or STREAMON(OUTPUT) (to defer the hardware operations
until really necessary).

Since STREAMOFF(OUTPUT) is expected to just trigger a seek,
termination should be done in REQBUFS(OUTPUT, 0) indeed and after that
one should be able to switch to another codec (OUTPUT format).
