Output Buffer
Number of Buffers For AVC: AL_AVC_GetMinOutputBuffersNeeded (AL_TStreamSettings tStreamSettings, int iStack).

For HEVC: AL_HEVC_GetMinOutputBuffersNeeded (AL_TStreamSettings tStreamSettings, int iStack).

Note: Dimension, chroma-mode and bit-depth are in stream-settings.
Contiguous Yes
