Thanks Tim.=20
You are right in pointing out the missing interfaces.
"gst-inspect-0.10 dspmpeg4sink" does not list any "Implemented =
Interfaces".

What can be an alternate approach to display video on an overlay window?

I also tried to build xvimagesink for N770 as it doesn't come along with =
that
plugin.=20
I built xvimagesink, gstinterface and gstvideo on Scratchbox for ARM and
copied them onto N770.
But gst-inspect still doesn't show xvimagesink.
Am I missing something here?

Regards,
Vinod

Of course, a lot of GStreamer-based video players use it (e.g.
totem-gstreamer).

GstXOverlay is an interface, which needs to be implemented by the video
sink. Also, it's usually wrapped by GstImplementsInterface which means
that it may only be available if the video sink is in a certain state
(such as >=3D READY).  So my guess would be that you are either using a
video sink which doesn't implement this particular interface or the
video sink is still in the NULL state (or the element is buggy).
'gst-inspect-0.10 dspmpeg4sink' should tell you what interfaces the
element implements, if any.
