I applaud your effort, but please consider while you are doing this: Addressing RT-18009 is good Addressing RT-2684 is way better. https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-2684
If there is a mechanism to write a stub plugin that hooks into the GStreamer plugin mechanism such that end users of JavaFX can write a module (in Java, with the option of using JNI) that supplies the uncompressed frames via a NativeByteBuffer, that would be a great start.
