The first problem is that zoran dont like comment COM/APP0 markers.
This imply a per buffer filtering but this is already handled in my next branch.

But the remaining problem is that any output is like http://kernel.montjoie.ovh/zoran_out.png.

I hacked the driver to grab a working buffer when doing input and overrun output buffer later.
And the result is a working static output.
So the hw handling is good and the problem came from the data feeding/handling.

I believe that something is wrong in what ffmpeg negociate/send.
