That sound rather complicated.

I don't know enough about that kind of setup but my feeling is that
it's best to implement some kind of server on the ARM side that uses
openmax to process the data and send it back. On the x86 side you have
a GStreamer element that communicates to that ARM server. Personally I
would do it with gst-openmax+openmax because I think it's easier to
develop the openmax component, but other people might disagree.
