Would it be possible to write pixel shader routines in liboil? 

That way it would be possible to use the GPU for
resizing/deinterlacing/colourspace conversion/all sorts of other things, and
step down to using SSE/MMX/altivec/whatever if the GPU isn't fast enough or
doesn't support what you're trying to do.

Also with regard to hardware acceleration, many cards now support XvMC for
(parts of?) the MPEG2 decoding process, and according to Wikipedia, some VIA
cards can now do H.264 decoding this way too (as newer Nvidia cards can on
Windows). An "xvmcimagesink" element would be a welcome addition to GStreamer
-- if only I was smart enough and/or knowledgeable enough to write one!
