I needed a solution to make a continous stream from a set of buffers (eg, to
create a never-ending stream from a single jpeg), and found no plugins, neither
plugin combinations that could do this (identity with its duplicate property
came close, but not enough).

The result is the freeze plugin, implementing a loop-based element, which pulls
buffers from its sink, stores it in a GList, then pushes the current entry out
on the srcpad. By default (max-buffers==0), it does not have a limit of buffers.
When it reached its limit, no further buffers will be accepted (ie, they'll be
discarded). This suits me, and was easier to implement, but can be changed if so
need be. All pushed out buffers will have a new timestamp and duration.

Since the duration is calculated using the framerate, freeze only works for
video for now (however, this can be changed, when needed).
