/**
* SECTION:gstsurfacemeta
* @short_description: Accelerated surface metadata
*
* This meta data is used to abstract hardware accelerated buffers and enable
* generic convertion to standard type such as GL textures. The media type for
* those buffers is defined by #GST_VIDEO_CAPS_SURFACE. An implementation
* specific type must be set using the "type" key (e.g. type="vaapi").
* Available convertion type are speficied using seperate boolean
* arguement (e.g. opengl=true). Having this information in the capabilities
* allow easy negotiating of such feature with other elements (e.g. a
* ClutterGstVideoSink can claim accpeting caps "video/x-surface,opengl=true").
* <note>
* The GstVideoContext interface is unstable API and may change in future.
* One can define GST_USE_UNSTABLE_API to acknowledge and avoid this warning.
* </note>
