Expected result
The alpha blending will work normally and the dark edge is not shown around the sticker overlay.
Actual result
As you see from the following video, there is a dark edge around the sticker. I believe this is due to the blending setup for GLES.

If I load the image in straight alpha format using following snippet, then the edge seems correct.
val staticImage = context.assets.open("image1.png").use {
val bitmapOption = BitmapFactory.Options().apply {
inPremultiplied = false
}
BitmapFactory.decodeStream(it, null, bitmapOption)
}!!

BTW, I also tried to load the image as an MediaItem, and the result is the same. The blending is wrong.
