Yes.

That doesn't have anything to do with C++ AFAICT.

The GdkPixbufLoader also has a "push" API, where a stream of bytes is
sent to the loader. The SVG loader uses this API instead of the
file-based one. Eg.

http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/librsvg/trunk/gdk-pixbuf-loader/io-svg.c?revision=1136&view=markup

If openexr doesn't have a way to load an image from a stream of bytes,
you could always serialize the bytes to a temporary file and then load
that.
