After some more thinking about this a helper library for IEC958 payloading and
using it inside the sinks is probably the better solution. You'll never need
IEC958 anywhere else and separate elements are unecessary overhead for the
trivial operation of IEC958 payloading. sinks could then simply require
audio/x-aac for example and the payloading would happen internally. It would
also allow sinks with special requirements to have special IEC958 payloading
and would make sinks that really accept raw AAC/AC3 behave the same as sinks
that internally require IEC958 payloading.

This will also simplify the handling of all this inside playbin2/playsink (but
of course still a lot of work is needed to make this all work without problems
in all situations there). So the next step would be a small IEC958 payloading
library, maybe as part of the audio library in gst-plugins-base and using it in
alsasink for example.
