No objection for me to export the decode function but that could break compatibility
with libav implementation if this function is publicly exported from one side but
not in the other. Maybe you could submit a similar patch for libav ?
Also, it could be exported internally.

Is there a way to let the user choose the cv_pix_fmt_type ? The one you did choose is
only available since 10.7 according to the Apple doc and VDADecoder framework
came public with 10.6.3.
