By looking in gst-plugins-bad/sys/androidmedia, you'll find code that
wraps Android Java API (through JNI) to decode video. It should be
possible I think to do the same to read from the camera, or record from
the microphone. For sure, if the NDK offers an API, simply use that, JNI
can cause a small overhead.
