The V4L doc says that buffers could be enqueued before streaming is
started. I guess it should be a trouble here, shouldn't it?

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.7-rc3/source/include/media/videobuf2-core.h#L379

what trouble are you referring here?

I dont think so as we set min buffers needed as 2 always there will be 2 per-queued buffers.

But buffers from this queue will be dequeued only when ready to processes in the capture thread
