For the records, the problem is that on Android 6.0, the system was 
using software decoding and the buffer going out of the decoder are not 
writable while on Android 5.1.1, the system was using hardware decoding 
and the buffer is writable. The problem boils down to make work hardware 
decoding on Android 6.0 which works with Gstreamer latest 1.6.1 while 
it's not with 1.5.0. But 1.6.1 on Android 5.1.1 has catastrophic 
performance...
