Description Sebastian Dröge (slomo) 2016-11-16 15:31:29 UTC 
Doesn't seem worthwhile to carry our own code for this format
Comment 1 Jan Schmidt 2016-11-16 22:36:11 UTC 
You know not everyone is willing or able to install gst-libav right?
Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-11-16 23:23:20 UTC 
Question is whether this is a common-enough or interesting enough format to ship our own decoders for it or not.

libav doesn't seem to provide image/x-portable-{bitmap,pixmap}, just anymap/graymap as far as I can tell (might just be a missing mapping.

Need to check also if libav decoder supports GRAY16 formats.

gdpixbufdec also provides support for these, but only decodes to RGB(A), not GRAY* formats and only supports 8bpp.

That, and if we want to be responsible for actually maintaining them.
