+    <para>These ioctls control an audio/video (usually MPEG-) decoder.
+<constant>VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD</constant> sends a command to the
+decoder, <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD</constant> can be used to
+try a command without actually executing it. To send a command applications
+must initialize all fields of a &v4l2-decoder-cmd; and call
+<constant>VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD</constant> or <constant>VIDIOC_TRY_DECODER_CMD</constant>
+with a pointer to this structure.</para>
+
+    <para>The <structfield>cmd</structfield> field must contain the
+command code. Some commands use the <structfield>flags</structfield> field for
+additional information.
+</para>
+
+    <para>A <function>write</function>() or &VIDIOC-STREAMON; call sends an implicit
+START command to the decoder if it has not been started yet.
+</para>
+
+    <para>A <function>close</function>() or &VIDIOC-STREAMOFF; call of a streaming
+file descriptor sends an implicit immediate STOP command to the decoder, and all
+buffered data is discarded.</para>
+
+    <para>These ioctls are optional, not all drivers may support
+them. They were introduced in Linux 3.3.</para>

+            <entry>Playback speed and direction. The playback speed is defined as
+<structfield>speed</structfield>/1000 of the normal speed. So 1000 is normal playback.
+Negative numbers denote reverse playback, so -1000 does reverse playback at normal
+speed. Speeds -1, 0 and 1 have special meanings: speed 0 is shorthand for 1000
+(normal playback). A speed of 1 steps just one frame forward, a speed of -1 steps
+just one frame back.

+if the decoder operates on full GOPs (<wordasword>Group Of Pictures</wordasword>).
+This is usually the case for reverse playback: the decoder needs full GOPs, which
+it can then play in reverse order. So to implement reverse playback the application
+must feed the decoder the last GOP in the video file, then the GOP before that, etc. etc.
