Hi Henry,

that's great news :) This will be the default for the cairo-gl backend
in the future then?

what exactly are you using the cairo plugin for and which parts of it do
you plan to optimize? Note that we recently removed most of the cairo
plugin (everything except cairooverlay) from GStreamer 1.0, because
these elements were basically unmaintained, buggy and there were better
alternatives for most of the elements (in the pango plugin).

What kind of easier/faster interaction between GStreamer and cairo do
you have in mind, what exactly are your use cases?
