     problem if we want to also attach overlay data to raw video pixel
     buffers; for new non-raw types we can just make it mandatory and
     assume support and be done with it; for existing non-raw types
     nothing changes anyway if subtitles don't work) (we need to maintain
     backwards compatibility for existing raw video pipelines like e.g.:

     Even though slightly more work, attaching the overlay information to
     buffers seems more intuitive than sending it interleaved as events.
