there is GstVideoOverlayComposition for a while, and i'm actually successfully
using it. for that i've patched the pad templates of basetextoverlay and
assrender so that they actually link into a pipeline with a sink that handles
non-raw video with overlayed meta.

my q&d patches however seem to cause wild criticals somewhere deep inside:
(gst-play-1.0:499): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_mini_object_ref: assertion
`mini_object != NULL' failed

(gst-play-1.0:499): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_caps_merge: assertion
`GST_IS_CAPS (caps2)' failed

(gst-play-1.0:499): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_mini_object_ref: assertion
`mini_object != NULL' failed

(gst-play-1.0:499): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_caps_merge: assertion
`GST_IS_CAPS (caps2)' failed

(gst-play-1.0:499): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_mini_object_ref: assertion
`mini_object != NULL' failed

(gst-play-1.0:499): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_caps_merge: assertion
`GST_IS_CAPS (caps2)' failed

nevertheless, the overlays are correctly renderes and can be accessed and
proprietarily blitted by our sink.

something is still missing, and the subtitle elements should eventually get a
proper implementation for non-raw video streams.
