There is a way to implement "short" mode decoding at the frame level
in the staging branch. Though, applications are not updated yet to
provide this usage model. Is this what you were looking for by "the
interface VA-API provides doesn't really fits with what UVD needs"?
Could you be more specific please?

Thanks,
