+Decoder firmware API description
+================================
+
+Note: this API is part of the decoder firmware, so it's cx23415 only.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Name CX2341X_DEC_PING_FW
+Enum 0/0x00
+Description
+ This API call does nothing. It may be used to check if the firmware
+ is responding.
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Name CX2341X_DEC_START_PLAYBACK
+Enum 1/0x01
+Description
+ Begin or resume playback.
+Param[0]
+ 0 based frame number in GOP to begin playback from.
+Param[1]
+ Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal
+ audio resumes. (This is not implemented in the firmware, leave at 0)
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Name CX2341X_DEC_STOP_PLAYBACK
+Enum 2/0x02
+Description
+ Ends playback and clears all decoder buffers. If PTS is not zero,
+ playback stops at specified PTS.
+Param[0]
+ Display 0=last frame, 1=black
+ Note: this takes effect immediately, so if you want to wait for a PTS,
+ then use '0', otherwise the screen goes to black at once.
+ You can call this later (even if there is no playback) with a 1 value
+ to set the screen to black.
+Param[1]
+ PTS low
+Param[2]
+ PTS high
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Name CX2341X_DEC_SET_PLAYBACK_SPEED
+Enum 3/0x03
+Description
+ Playback stream at speed other than normal. There are two modes of
+ operation:
+ Smooth: host transfers entire stream and firmware drops unused
+ frames.
+ Coarse: host drops frames based on indexing as required to achieve
+ desired speed.
+Param[0]
+ Bitmap:
+ 0:7 0 normal
+ 1 fast only "1.5 times"
+ n nX fast, 1/nX slow
+ 30 Framedrop:
+ '0' during 1.5 times play, every other B frame is dropped
+ '1' during 1.5 times play, stream is unchanged (bitrate
+ must not exceed 8mbps)
+ 31 Speed:
+ '0' slow
+ '1' fast
+ Note: n is limited to 2. Anything higher does not result in
+ faster playback. Instead the host should start dropping frames.
+Param[1]
+ Direction: 0=forward, 1=reverse
+ Note: to make reverse playback work you have to write full GOPs in
+ reverse order.
+Param[2]
+ Picture mask:
+ 1=I frames
+ 3=I, P frames
+ 7=I, P, B frames
+Param[3]
+ B frames per GOP (for reverse play only)
+ Note: for reverse playback the Picture Mask should be set to I or I, P.
+ Adding B frames to the mask will result in corrupt video. This field
+ has to be set to the correct value in order to keep the timing correct.
+Param[4]
+ Mute audio: 0=disable, 1=enable
+Param[5]
+ Display 0=frame, 1=field
+Param[6]
+ Specifies the number of muted audio frames to play before normal audio
+ resumes. (Not implemented in the firmware, leave at 0)
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Name CX2341X_DEC_STEP_VIDEO
+Enum 5/0x05
+Description
+ Each call to this API steps the playback to the next unit defined below
+ in the current playback direction.
+Param[0]
+ 0=frame, 1=top field, 2=bottom field
+

+Enum 8/0x08
+Description

+Result[0]
+ Bit 1 set means transfer complete
+ Bit 2 set means DMA error
+ Bit 3 set means linked list error
+Result[1]
+ DMA type: 0=MPEG, 1=OSD, 2=YUV
+
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+

+ masked.
