/**
 * SECTION:element-glstereomix
 * @title: glstereomix
 *
 * Combine 2 input streams to produce a stereoscopic output
 * stream. Input views are taken from the left pad and right pad
 * respectively, and mixed according to their timelines.
 *
 * If either input stream is stereoscopic, the approproriate view
 * (left or right) is taken from each stream and placed into the output.
 *
 * The multiview representation on the output is chosen according to
 * the downstream caps.
 *
 * ## Examples
 * |[
 * gst-launch-1.0 -v videotestsrc pattern=ball name=left \
 *     videotestsrc name=right glstereomix name=mix \
 *     left. ! vid/x-raw,width=640,height=480! glupload ! mix.  \
 *     right. ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480! glupload ! mix.  \
 *     mix. ! video/x-raw'(memory:GLMemory)',multiview-mode=side-by-side ! \
 *     queue ! glimagesink output-multiview-mode=side-by-side
 * ]| Mix 2 different videotestsrc patterns into a side-by-side stereo image and display it.
 * |[
 * gst-launch-1.0 -ev v4l2src name=left \
 *     videotestsrc name=right \
 *     glstereomix name=mix \
 *     left. ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! glupload ! glcolorconvert ! mix.  \
 *     right. ! video/x-raw,width=640,height=480 ! glupload ! mix.  \
 *     mix. ! video/x-raw'(memory:GLMemory)',multiview-mode=top-bottom ! \
 *     glcolorconvert ! gldownload ! queue ! x264enc ! h264parse ! \
 *     mp4mux ! progressreport ! filesink location=output.mp4
 * ]| Mix the input from a camera to the left view, and videotestsrc to the right view,
 *    and encode as a top-bottom frame packed H.264 video.
