[meta-freescale] Regarding GStreamer-1.x status on iMX6Q

[Carlos Rafael Giani]

Yes, the current status in Github is what I was talking about. The only 
thing missing from the decoder atm is VC1/WMV3 support. I have to figure 
out some parsing details there.
My current focus is on the video transform element (bugfixes & second 
deinterlace mode).

I forgot to mention one other thing that already works: transcoding with 
zerocopy. Meaning, pictures decoded by the VPU can be passed to the 
encoder directly without having to copy the pixels. Initial tests show 
that real-time 1080p transcoding to h264 baseline is feasible with this.
