Oh, completely forgot about this. Yes, fixes the output part of
the issue. Maybe

"Fix accumulating decoded frames with GStreamer" ?

is not clear what "output" means in the general case, the patch
was more specific about a "queue" and the code, in a general NEWS
file it became not much clear.

No, but is not clear what's the subject. Maybe:
"Fix a crash on Windows with libusb 1.0.22 when UsbDk is not installed"

As you like, rewording is fine for me.
