use android binary omx codec

[Aihua Zhao]

Hi Experts:
I'm trying to use android omx binary codec in some way, and noticed the
implementation from Ubuntu and Jolla.
Ubuntu touch:
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-bad1.0
Jolla: https://github.com/sailfishos/gst-omx

from my understanding, Jolla uses omx binary directly by android_dlopen();
while Ubuntu touch uses the codec from android media codec service. both
are in gstreamer world.

I wonder one possible implementation away from gstreamer:
the Android MediaCodec API is also convenient to use. on non-android Linux,
is it possible to load omx binary by hybris, then simply wrapped it into
MediaCodec interface?
you may say that is what android does; however, I think the implementation
in Android is over-complex and depends on android toolkit.
maybe i'm stupid on this; anyway, thanks if you could give me some comments.
