When evas image isn't visible, is it possible to update evas image by texture 
instead of raw data?
The texture can be bind from wl_buffer (as Weston does).

Otherwise, it make the solution much complicate with less efficient: map video 
data from GPU memory usually not a good idea.

Subject: subsurfaces and EFL

Hi Halley,

The patches for subsurface support in EFL are integrated, and they should 
appear in the next image built for Tizen:IVI. So the example (buffer_object) 
that I sent you earlier should compile just fine, let me know if you have any 
problem.

Now, notice that in that example, I use the wl_buffer (an shm buffer) both 
attaching it to the subsurface, and using its pixel data directly setting them 
on the evas image object, depending on the subsurface being visible or not.

I was trying to modify your example to use this, but I am not sure if I can 
have direct access to the pixel data of the wl_buffer that you provide from the 
gst plugin. Is this true? That's part of what I need to have full control over 
the subsurface.

Another solution option would be to modify the example to attach 2 elements to 
the gstreamer pipeline, that receive the same buffer queue using a tee 
component, and switching each of them would receive the buffers by adding 
"valve" components to both. This way, when the subsurface is created, we set it 
as the window handle, and turn on that part of the pipeline. When the 
subsurface is destroyed, we remove it as a window handle and turn off the video 
overlay element, and turn on another element that just decodes the video on a 
normal buffer, that can be used to feed the pixels for the image object.

Well, take a look at my example, see if you understand the way that the 
subsurfaces can be used in EFL now, and we can discuss more about it on Monday.

Regards,
Rafael
