Please describe the problem:
I'm attaching a patch that adds a new element called 'ksvideosrc' that uses
Windows Kernel streaming for capturing video. It's the lowest level API for
capturing video on Windows, meaning you get tighter control of the capture
process than if a higher-level interface like DirectShow was used.

The element started out as a quick 'n dirty one evening hack, and although
it has matured a bit since then it still could need some loving, like:
- gtk-doc comments in the header files
- Make private class members private
- Implement the drift compensation (see comments in code)
- Look into providing a clock that uses KS
- Implement PropertyProbe interface

Unfortunately I'm not able to provide autofoo for the patch because we're
using a custom MSVS toolchain on Windows, but contributions are of course
most welcome. The plugin is trivial to build and requires no special magic.

Does this happen every time?
