Using a GdkPixbuf as content would mean a link/dependency on libgdkpixbuf for
the tag stuff (for the GType when registering the tag) and for the tag reading
element (for the decompression), which isn't a good idea IMHO.

I'd just register the new tag to be of GST_TYPE_BUFFER and document it to
contain a typefindable compressed image like png or jpeg or gif. Then the
application can decide how/when it wants to handle the content, if at all.
Typefinding PNG/JPEG/GIF should be easy in any case.

Edward: creating a new pad in this case would mean it gets autoplugged and
connected to a videosink, overriding visualisation plugins, wouldn't it? We can
easily hack around that of course, but I think a tag would make things much
easier for applications, don't you think?
