Though, due instability of the wayland protocol and often inability to
test due to lack for compliant compositor, don't expect too much at
this moment from this element. At best, be prepared to contribute the
missing features.

Unlike X11 XV extension, wayland makes it really hard to playback video
since it's support is strictly limited to hardware accelerators that
can produce DMABuf. For anything else, we are suppose to fallback to
GL, which unfortunately is very complex to implement. Wayland protocol
is really missing something to make developer life easier.
