 it should be possible to build without X too, ie. the audio mixer
 interface should still work even when X is not present.

+xoverlay.h only depends on X for the definition of XID.  XID is
+unsigned long on all architectures, so changing to unsigned long in
+the header makes it independent of X.
+
+xoverlay.c should be compiled and linked into the library
+unconditionally, and if X is not present at compile time, all the
+function calls can be stubbed out and do nothing.
+
+It's not particularly elegant, but it's clean, and nobody in their
+right mind will compile gst-plugins without X.  (From experience, I
+know that embedded systems designers and Windows developers are not in
+their right minds.)
