Not really sure what to do about this. We need to make a decision though, so we
can get on with the release.

It's clearly bad that it's possible to seek somewhere with playbin2 without
being able to get back into playing state afterwards.

However, I'm wondering how much of a problem this actually poses in practice.
How many files have video and audio streams with considerably different
lengths?

It does pose a problem for people who want to extract the very last frame of a
file I guess, but how common/useful is that? (I know I've seen this come up on
the list a couple of times) (And do those people use playbin2?)

Thanks for coming up with those patches, Mark! It seems though that people are
not too keen on this approach, which adds new API/concepts, but would prefer a
different solution.

That poses the question what to do for the release.

There don't seem to be alternative patches / approaches that are less intrusive
and/or risky.

We could roll playbin2 back to the 0.10.30 version, but the fixes and additions
since then seem worthwhile to have and probably outweigh this problem.

So maybe we should just release with this bug and get it fixed for the next
release? Or is this issue more severe than I think it is?
