-  DEFAULT: 5 (seconds)
-  DESC: Number of seconds before unused frame buffers are deallocated.
-        Previously, memory was allocated upon open() and deallocated upon
-        close(). Deallocation now occurs only if the driver is closed and this
-        timeout is reached. If you are capturing frames less frequently than
-        the default timeout, increase this. This will not make any difference
-        with programs that capture multiple frames during an open/close cycle.
