           Summary: [playbin2] add "configure-source" signal
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base

Currently applications have to connect to the "notify::source" signal and then
retrieve the source via g_object_get() to configure the source element in
playbin2.

This is not very nice, not very discoverable, and generally seems to confuse
people (trying to g_object_set() back the source later etc.).

I wonder if we should just add a "configure-source" signal, which would be both
more convenient and more discoverable.

I can whip up a patch if people agree this seems a good idea.
