Do you think that's sufficient though? If this issue isn't immediately obvious
to a number of core GStreamer hackers, do we really expect users of our API to
fully grasp the implications? And even if they do, what are they supposed to
do? Hack their own unaligned versions of the GST_READ_* macros?

I think it'd be better to change the GST_READ_*/GST_WRITE_* macros to the 'slow
but safe' versions and add _FAST variants or something which hackers can use if
they know that it's safe to do so.
