 zeros, causing sometimes bad picture flickering.

 is a bug in FFmpeg?

 Ok, well, for now, I should assume that hardware decoder silently fails,
 without any indications. I tried DXVA2 Status reporting facility, it
 reports that everything is OK.
 I cannot surely say about any bugs in FFmpeg, I don't know if the HW
 decoder fails because of FFmpeg sends it incorrect data or because data is
 invalid per se.

 So, thank you for very useful discussion, sorry for disturbance, I think,
 this ticket should be closed now.
