The alternative solution might not be good for decoders like gst-libav if they
wants to handle the fields separately since it is not overriding the
GstVideoDecoder::parse() routine at the moment. And we cannot add it to
basedecoder since the decision of handling them as separate fields or not is
taken by individual decoders.

So the solution would be to combine them from parser. But somehow i don't feel
it as a good solution. :)
