[meta-freescale] Replacing busybox with bash

[Rob McPherson]

Octavio,

I am using Fido & Gstreamer 1.0.  Our problem is that we use gstreamer within a Qt pane, and we are trying to insert an overlay over the movie pane that contains the movie transport controls, but our research seems to indicate that the only way that this will work is to use x11 to set the window order.

There are few things that I suggest you to look:

 - Use Fido or Jethro (Jethro is nicer)
 - Use GStreamer 1.0 (GStreamer 0.10 is dead upstream)
 - Avoid X11 whenever possible

The projects we did for customers, for similar use cases, we ended using Qt Multimedia with QML and others, using EGLFS when possible.
