Some time ago the softdevice plugin started crashing when playing video streams
containing errors, both while live viewing and watching recordings.
Today I found a transponder where it reliably occurred within seconds and decided
to investigate. The picture buffers used for video were 8-byte aligned, which
happened to work for "normal" mpeg decoding, but wasn't enough. ffmpeg was
executing SSE instructions when doing error concealment and those were segfaulting.
Fix below.
