/**
 * SECTION:gstsurfacebuffer
 * @short_description: Accelerated surface base class
 *
 * This base class is used to abstract hardware accelerated buffers and enable
 * generic conversion to standard types 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 conversion types are specified using separate boolean
 * arguments (e.g. opengl=true). Having this information in the capabilities
 * allows easy negotiating of such features 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>
