Can we make that simple guints? IMHO sized integers in API should be avoided
where possible.

I was wondering if the 'previous' member in GstStreamInformation is
necessary/useful.

There are two things that may be expressed this way:

 - alternatives (ie. same title/chapter/whatever available in different
resolutions)
 - titles/tracks/chapters/parts

Alternatives may be of different format/resolution/bitrate etc.

But different tracks may also have different characteristics even if they're
the same format, at the very least tags/bitrate/duration. And the user might
want to know that there are different tracks in this single file in the first
place, so the question would still be if/how to expose that.
