As far as I know, this is not currently supported. If you want it, you
will have to develop it (or find someone who will).

This sounds like <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50962>
which is being worked on by Simon Peeters. I've done some code review on
his patch; it's unfinished but seems to be going in the right direction.
