hello_wayland

A simple(*) test program that demonstrates how to play video in drmprime buffers from ffmpeg to Wayland. It has two modes - it can play to an EGL surface mapped onto a Wayland buffer or it can map the drmprime buffer directly to a wayland buffer and play using that (more efficient).

It has both simple output pacing and letter/pillarboxing for video.

(*) Nothing in Wayland is ever truly simple
