While the sorting patch makes sense I don't think this is the way to go for
iec958 passthrough. For this to work you have to give your aac-to-iec958
payloader a rank >= marginal and have to give it a classification as Decoder,
Parser or Depayloader. This is going to break if your sink does not support
iec958 and you don't have a AAC decoder with a higher rank than this iec958
payloader.

I think the iec958 payloaders need to get a different classification to prevent
them from being autoplugged by decodebin2 in normal scenarios and playbin2
should insert them at the front of the factories list in autoplug-factories if
the sink supports iec958. Btw, could you make your aac-to-iec958 payloader
available somewhere? :)
