Research direction

The crash comes from EGL surface creation in the encoder library: start at SurfaceManager.eglSetup in the encoder module and GlStreamInterface.start, the calls the stack trace shows. Reproducing needs an Android device or emulator where the app is installed fresh and the stream is started, which the reporter's app code does not show. Done would mean a first-install start that no longer throws eglCreateWindowSurface error 12296, confirmed on a device.
