           Summary: GstXOverlay, gst_x_overlay_set_xwindow_id cannot

In article [1] author mentions he uses GstXOverlay on Windows. But when I
looked into documentation [2], I can see that function
gst_x_overlay_set_xwindow_id accepts gulong as second argument. That in no
means cannot fit HANDLE on 64bit Windows for long is 32bit there. I would
suggest using something like gsize instead. It has the same size as long an all
POSIX platforms I know of and it would fix Windows problem. I am not using that
stuff on Windows, not even gstreamer, but this is possible bug which should be
fixed, no matter if gstreamer can be built in 64bit version on Windows (glib
and gtk can).
