Decoder will by default prefer movement over clean images. But you can use
identity to drop the corrupted buffer.

  ..dec ! identity drop-buffer-flags=corrupted ! ...

Decoders should mark as corrupted any decoded buffer for which some reference
frame were missing. Not doing so is a bug and shoud be reported.

Also, note that for transcoding RTSP server, or RTSP server encoding on the fly,
there should be a way to speed this up by enabling key frame request, I don't
know on top of my head how this is enable within RTSP, but I know it is
supported by GStreamer RTP stack.
