I'd see this as practice really, getting feedback from a couple of

I've stared at the gstreamer plugin API for a while, in theory it should
be easy to write something that takes text as OSC and sends it to
textoverlay to render into a video stream. That would take a lot less
CPU than doing screen grabs all the time I think. However it involves
automake and a sprawling mass of documentation. I think it got the
better of me.
