Some older versions of osxvideosink sort of worked when you did this.

Because of how cocoa works, though, this caused MAJOR problems in real
applications that were using osxvideosink. So, in the current
releases, osxvideosink can no longer be used without a hosting
application setting up a view for it to draw into. Sorry about that.
