yeah, I saw that comment too..  but was unsure about the scenario where this
would need to be a copy.

I think maybe to avoid buffer exhaustion in case of a vsink element that can
only allocate a fixed number of buffers.  And even in that case the vsink
should fall back to malloc'd buffers and dropping frames or doing a copy
internally.

So I still think it is better to use refcnt'ing.  And if using a copy is a
workaround for some specific video sink, then that should be fixed separately
in the video sink.
