Readback OpenGL texture from omxh264dec

Thanks Matthew,
to confirm it i did a little patch to check if the passed GstMemory was
indeed a GstGLMemoryEGL, but apparently it is not, the below assert failed
right after  the qt video sink received a new frame.

GstMemory *mem = gst_buffer_peek_memory (buffer, 0);
g_assert (gst_is_gl_memory_egl (mem));

As you suggested, I tried to execute the pipeline 'omxh264dec !
glimagesinkelement', but it ends up giving me an error when calling
glGetString(GL_VERSION).

  glimagesink gstglimagesink.c:1010:_ensure_gl_setup:<glimagesink0> *error:
glGetString not defined or returned invalid value*

After some searching I find out that this problem could be related with the
wrong GL lib loading. So I certified that gst-launch-1.0 was loading the
correct glGetString version.

My system listed two libraries with the symbol:

$ find . -name \*.so -exec bash -c "nm --defined-only -D {} 2>/dev/null |
grep glGetString && echo {}" \;
00008810 T glGetString
./*libbrcmGLESv2.so*
0000880c T glGetString
./*libGLESv2.so*

According to rpi doc, the corrected one is the brcm. Thus, I ran gdb to
check which one is being loaded right before  glGetString(GL_VERSION) was
called. gst_gl_display_create_context was chosen to the the point of
verification.

$ gdb gst-launch-1.0

It's picking the right lib (libbrcmGLESv2.so) so glGetString is returning a
invalid value.
Finally, to validate i coded a simple sample to call glGetString, which
surprisingly returned : *OpenGL ES 2.0*

What could be wrong with glimagesinkelement ?
