--- Comment #10 from Sebastian Dröge <slomo at circular-chaos.org> 2011-09-15 12:27:28 UTC ---
Note that this change was reverted again because it causes broken behaviour and
breaks newer releases of totem.

We agreed that the previous (pre-.35 behaviour) is broken and a bug and the
current behaviour is correct, deterministic and allows the application to
handle stuff properly while the old behaviour can't be handled properly by
applications and just worked in some applications by luck.

The solution to the problem that was solved by relying on the old, broken
behaviour would be, to make decodebin2/playbin2 more aware of decoders and
improve the autoplugging of decoders by considering the caps supported by the
sink instead of just using something with the highest rank.
