Since nobody except Diego replied on my mail a week ago:
Is there another way besides filing bugs and mailing the list to make a
proposal which gets investigated? I think many users are concerned about that
gstreamer "oddness", and I didn't find one good reason while reading through
bugzilla of not doing this the way I proposed.
greetings
