No, they don't apply (AFAICT).  Try

v4l2-ctl --verbose --streamon
v4l2-ctl --verbose --streamoff

and you should see that you're getting EINVAL back for both.

They don't refer to that "stream" (between encoder/decoder and host).
They refer to streaming between the user-space application and kernel
with mapped memory or user memory buffers, instead of
read()/write()/poll() I/O.  See Chapter 3 of the V4L2 API document for
more details:

My kernel's version of the ivtv driver doesn't support the
VIDIOC_STREAMON/VIDIOC_STREAMOFF ioctl()s, so it doesn't use those I/O
methods.
