Summary [GStreamer] use GstAppSink as video sink

Right now WebKit uses a custom video sink which only task is to pass, through a GObject singal, the decoded video frame to WebKit. Replacing this custom video sink with a GstAppSink, which -at first sight- does exactly the same things, we could reduce the code to maintain in WebKit.

By using appsink you won't be able to handle the GstVideoMeta/GstVideoCropMeta, and will also be unable to handle special memory (think: EGLImage, VAAPI, ...) properly.

(In reply to comment #5) > By using appsink you won't be able to handle the GstVideoMeta/GstVideoCropMeta, and will also be unable to handle special memory (think: EGLImage, VAAPI, ...) properly. Doh! Thanks! Phil, do I change the status to "resolved" or something?
