  It would be better to have separate decoders and videosinks, since
this would allow a greater range of gstreamer-based application to run
on your device, or to insert elements between your decoder and sink.

  You can still write a non-raw sink using GstBaseSink. The only thing
you will have to properly handle is the synchronization/clocking.

  I don't think we have non-raw sinks in gst-plugins- though to serve as
examples.
