Another option would be to use the glupload element, so you appsink would
retrieve gl-based buffer which you can "map" with GST_MAP_GL flag and it will
return a texture ready to use. But, to achieve that, you must pass your
application's GL context, wrapping it inside a GstGLContext, to the pipeline
through the sync bus.

In gst-plugins-base code there are examples of this.
