Windows 8.1 BitmapImage to Byte array or a stream

I'm trying to convert a BitmapImage to a byte array or a stream in WinRT 8.1. This was straightforward in Windows 8, since the WriteableBitmap could be created using a BitmapImage, but is no longer so in 8.1. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this in 8.1?

Regards,

Dmitri

I don't believe it was possible in Windows 8, but WinRT XAML Toolkit had some support for a while to load a WriteableBitmap based on a BitmapImage, but it actually tries to load it from the same source as the original BI. There is no way to access the pixels of a BI itself, so if you expect to be doing that - start off with a WriteableBitmap in the first place.
