There is no need to add anything to wayland because all the needed
functionality is already there.

clients communicate already with the compositor using android native
buffers.

The only thing we need is:
1) a way to tell the sink to use the overlay
2) a way to tell the compositor to use the overlay for a certain buffer
3) A way to tell the compositor the "position" of rendering (x, y).
4) expose that to Qt in a simple way.

#1 is easy to achieve with a simple property
#2 is already implemented but I am not entirely sure
#3 is something that might or might not be there. Or maybe the overlay
can only be used for full screen rendering?
#4 is something I have no idea how to implement.

The question still remains: Does using the overlay bring any
improvement? Is it really needed?

Cheers,
