Well, that's one option, if it's compatible license-wise. Depends what
you want to do exactly. There are other subtitle/overlay type plugins
that have copied some of the relevant code. You're certainly right in
that it's currently not a public base class.

You could also write a new element based on the GstAggregator base
class instead.
