/**
 * 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>
