It's really a general problem with most of our networking elements I'm afraid
(also those not using gnomevfssrc).  There's unlikely to be a quick fix for
this.  Even if we didn't block on the upwards state change by putting the
blocking stuff into the streaming thread, you'd still have the problem that
shutting down the pipeline (e.g. when the user clicks 'next') will block until
the blocking call in the streaming thread has finished.

Also see bug #403122 for the mmssrc case.

gnomevfssrc is unlikely to get fixed at this point, but there's going to be a
new gvfssrc at some point when the new GVFS lands in GLib.

Marking as duplicate of #338827 for now, since that's the most important
networking element besides mmssrc and there's a different bug for mmsssrc
