Zero copying from shmsrc to shmsink possible

[Olivier Crête]

Hi,
Right now, no there isn't. I think we could create some kind of
src/sink that uses fd passing, I don't think it would be very hard to
do. I think we could either have a sink/src combo that passes fds, or
even have shmsink/shmsrc handle that somehow.
