Thanks for pointing this test suite... all samples were failing :-p

Now we added the probability handling and all samples works (except the unsupported level).
The ref handling was tricky aswell, anyway it's all fixed except FRM_RESIZE which will
be a hell of hacking to tackle.

The hack would be to keep the refs buffers we still need after frame resizing on drain,
then use the max(old_frame_size, new_frame_size) as capture buffer size, then copy back
the old refs buffers into the newly queued buffers and continue.

It's a ugly hack, but won't break the drain + S_FMT semantic.
But I will fix this _after_ the v2 of this serie is merged.
