Why not just require (non-source) elements that may be autoplugged to do
typefinding themselves [*] in such cases and throw a 'buggy element' error in
decodebin if it comes across ANY caps? IMHO that's preferable to adding more
complexity to decodebin.


In state_change functions (like the one you're adding in the
bz2dec-remove-typefinding patch) you should handle upwards state changes first,
then chain up to the parent class, and then handle downwards state changes. So
in your patch you'd need to chain up first.


[*] after all it's dead easy using gst_type_find_helper_*() (bz2dec should
probably use gst_type_find_helper_from_buf() as well btw)
