Thanks, James.

I think the following approaches could help to solve issues with pool size more flexible way
1) communication between decoder and the following frame consumer component (filter or encoder) about extra frames requirement in hw frame pool.
2) add function like av_buffer_pool_test(AVBufferPool *pool); which returns current status of pool (used/free frames count).
