           Summary: h264parse: expose parsed profiles to downstream
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer

            Status: UNCONFIRMED

It would be interesting to expose profile/level information parsed from the
bitstream to allow better negotiation of the downstream decoder. This could
serve two purposes: (i) fallbacks to SW decoder if the HW decoder does not
support a particular profile (e.g. high-10 or baseline), (ii) allow decoder to
handle base layers/views only if needed, or use the complete MVC or SVC
decoder.
