The bulk of the API, which relies on the stateless decoder interface [1],
and H264 stateless V4L2 controls has been ready for some time now,
and there are various implementations supporting it.

Chromium supports it [2], and I've tested it on chromebooks,
through chromeos builds. We haven't tried a non-chromeos build,
and I would say it's quite some work.

GStreamer support is available as well. See [3] which should
work for the latest H264 controls (the ones being moved out of staging).

LibreELEC developers maintain an Ffmpeg branch [4], I expect it will
be updated for the latest H264 controls soon, and hopefully merged
in mainline Ffmpeg.

GStreamer and Ffmpeg are relatively straightforward to build and test.

Thanks,
Ezequiel
