I just want to check that you are going to be using the right tool for
the job here... Cairo is primarily for producing vector drawings and
compositing those on to surfaces. If you need to process a stream of
binary data and generate stills/videos (perhaps with Cairo overlays)
then you should first look at GStreamer.
