https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/7936 Although, if we had the pixels (I don't know the VLC code too well) then we should be able to slap those into a surface... dh > Also the > gstreamer backend is easier to integrate as it doesn't require to > communicate with another process to get the pixels (Not really a win > in my opinion, but in this case will make life easier). > > Also I have been starting to think that maybe we should have a simpler > layer than Emotion that does all this buffer management and his used > by Emotion.
