OSX+Radeon crash VideoDataBuffer.convert YCbCr_422 -> BGRA_PRE

Hi,

This is really just an FYI as I'm doing funky stuff with multiple
MediaPlayers and using the deprecated impl_getLatestFrame() method to grab
frames.

I can grab frames fine with a single MediaPlayer instance but when I use
multiple MediaPlayer objects each with an AnimationTimer calling this
code:

	public void snapshotVideo()
	{
		VideoDataBuffer buf = player.impl_getLatestFrame();

		if (buf != null)
		{
			VideoFormat newFormat = VideoFormat.BGRA_PRE;
			buf = buf.convertToFormat(newFormat);

			ByteBuffer bb =
buf.getBufferForPlane(VideoDataBuffer.PACKED_FORMAT_PLANE);

			int pixel = 0;

			int max = bb.remaining() / 4;

			for (int i = 0; i < max; i++)
			{
				rawFrameData[pixel++] = bb.getInt();
			}

			buf.releaseFrame();
		}
	}

then it crashes hard on OSX El Capitan with AMD Radeon HD 6970M with this
dump:

I'm guessing the native frame conversion from YCbCr_422 to BGRA_PRE is not
thread-safe but some naive attempts to lock around this haven't solved the
problem.

This same code + videos works fine on a MacBook Pro with Intel Iris
graphics so it's a tiny hardware+OS corner case but thought it might be
worth a mention.

The only thing I'd add is that I'd love to have an official API for
grabbing single frames from video. I've been doing some cool real-time
video effects in JavaFX and it's a shame to have to use a deprecated
method which will probably go away.

Cheers,

Chris
