autocluttersink has never been tested along with gstreamer-vaapi (this
arrived after my work). Instead of wrapping an X windows into a some DRI
pixbuf, cluttersink (not autocluttersink) uses an new API in gstreamer
that let it use the GstBuffer as textures that are directly rendered
into the clutter scene.

I do think this approach is more efficient then the autocluttersink one,
and that fluendo could have implemented the GstVideoBuffer interface for
the VA buffer rather then using this. It's a bit of a design war, my
apology if this creates flames.

cheers,
Nicolas
