As far as I know we cannot. We played around with this when we had the
issue when generating thumbnails in the video app on certain devices
that only allow one hardware decoder to be instantiated. The thumbnail
generated used the hardware decoder instance resulting in the actual
playback being in software.

Back then we concluded that we'd have manually re-create the element
or clone it. If there's a lower level way to do this via OMX I'd love
to hear about it.
