Actually clutter-gst contains new elements that bridge Clutter and
GStreamer, no abstractions.
The Qt API solves a similar problem for rendering video into a
QGraphicsWidget contained in a QGraphicsView (much like a clutter-gst
actor displayed in a clutter scene.)
For the simple case where you don't need to construct a specialized
pipeline then playing a video in a QGraphicsView is brain-dead easy. If
this is all an app needs (like an app for browsing and playing movie
trailer feeds from yahoo or apple), then the app developer doesn't
really need to know or care about the rest of the media stack.
So... with that said... I haven't heard any real requirements from the
original post, so I have no idea which route is the best choice for this
specific problem.
