opencv: extracting video channels and depth from caps

[philippe renon]

opencv misbehaves if that additional channel is not accounted for as it then assumes the image is RGB (i.e. stride 3). I thought about using the stride but it is a bit cumbersome as it is a per channel information.What about adding a IS_SPARSE flag (like HAS_ALPHA or IS_RGB) ?

Should it actually use that additional "channel", it's containing
arbitrary and useless data.

In any case, you can get this info with e.g.
GST_VIDEO_INFO_COMP_PSTRIDE(), which will tell you 4 here (4 bytes to
get from one pixel to the next). It might even be better to directly
have a switch around the GstVideoFormat here instead.
