This behaves the same as autovideosink - if I omit the call to 
gst_video_overlay_set_window_handle then it displays the video in a 
separate window. When I include the call to 
gst_video_overlay_set_window_handle then I get no video at all, and my 
NSView has no subviews. Although from inside the program, everything 
seems to be working smoothly.

So are you saying that nobody uses this feature on Mac? Is it possible 
that it simply doesn't work? I don't know what CoreAnimation sink is, it 
doesn't seem to be installed on my system (a "full install" of 1.6.1). 
Is it something I could use for displaying video in a NSView owned by my 
app (which is all I want to do)?

I would really like to find a solution.
