+Subject: [PATCH] amfenc: disable buffering & blocking delay in IPP mode
+
+When realtime encoding is required, the HW queue and arbitrary
+1ms sleep during blocking introduces unnecessary latency, especially
+in low FPS situations such as streaming desktop content at a variable
+framerate.
+
+Resolve by disabling buffering and blocking delay if no B-frames are
+requested, as is typical for zero latency streaming use cases.
