No they're not all independant. The Video Decoder plug straight into the
Codec, so you can only capture compressed frames (there is not way to
capture raw frames).

So you basically have the following possibilities:

 (a) recv compressed data which was captured on one of the inputs
 (b) feed the codec compressed data and read uncompressed data back
 (c) attach one of the inputs to the output (i.e. bypass the codec/everything)
