Why?
This is what Marlin does, well, a more sophisticated version of it.
MarlinSampleSrc and MarlinSampleSink are the two elements marlin uses to
get data into and out of GStreamer pipelines. People have said its a bad
idea before, but I disagree and feel that it is essential in certain
cases (NLE being one of them).
