My point was that the high layer (eg, Pitivi or whatever) could decide to
allocate threads to whatever (eg, look at the "class string" for each element
that can do more than one thread, and start giving more threads to encoders,
etc).
Defaulting to 1 in each element is best because elements do not know what else
is in the pipeline, nor should they. There could certainly be helpers in GstBin
or GstPipeline for "distributing N threads among contained elements" so that a
program may decide to allocate a thread per core with a single call.
