Hmmm, ok. Endianness has to stay then. ximagesink has to fix handling of
endianness though.

I don't. If you just use a single mask, use gst/video/video.h to construct
your caps.
X and colorspace use these masks. That's 2 out of 3 big RGB plugins. Only
ffmpegs colorspace doesn't use them and I hate it already as it can't
convert to GDKs 32bit colorspace (RGBA).


So we can at least get rid of depth then?
