Does gst-omx support Raspberry Pi for simultaneously H.264 video decoding and coding?

Are you sure it's possible to get the raw (post-processed) video from
the camera sensors before it gets encoded? I seem to remember that the
imaging pipeline is closed and they don't give you the option of
getting RGB or YUV out, but maybe that's changed.
