Description Gwenole Beauchesne 2014-07-30 14:53:23 UTC 
Rendering with GLX in vaapisink is kind of useless nowadays, including OpenGL related fancy effects. Plain VA/GLX interfaces are also getting deprecated in favor of EGL, or more direct buffer sharing with actual GL textures.

Should testing of interop with GLX be needed, one could still be using the modern cluttersink or glimagesink elements.

This is a placeholder to collect opinions of people of why GLX rendering in vaapisink would be needed. Note: "use-glx" was set to FALSE by default, for ages.
