(My proposal to fix this. Note that it is untested, I plan to do that this evening) Commit 9241650d62f7 broke vbi capture applications that expect POLLERR to be returned if STREAMON wasn't called. Rather than checking whether buffers were queued AND vb2 was not yet streaming, just check whether streaming is in progress and return POLLERR if not. This change makes it impossible to poll in one thread and call STREAMON in another, but doing that breaks existing applications and is also not according to the spec. So be it.
