The best way currently would be to use the CoreAnimation sink but you
can probably not use it when you're using wxwidgets (it depends on what
wxwidgets allows you to do). It works by setting the CALayer of a view
to what the sink is providing.

Independent of all that, we should nonetheless make sure that the
GstVideoOverlay interface of glimagesink works on OSX. So if you can
provide a testcase for the problem there, that would be great.
