This is the right procedure to do so wis some few lines of glue code.

For an pascal stream I use

   
sf:=cairo_image_surface_create_from_png_stream(@ReadFromStream,PNG_data);

there PNG_data is an stream containing PNG image.

the glue-code is rather simple:

function ReadFromStream(closure: Pointer; data: PByte; length:
LongWord):cairo_status_t; cdecl;
var
  Stream: TStream absolute closure;
begin
  if Stream.Read(data^, Length) = int64(Length) then
    result := CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS
  else
    result := CAIRO_STATUS_READ_ERROR;
end;

Hope that helps
