[gst-devel] Region struct on cothread data

[Erik Walthinsen]

I'm a bit confused as to why cothread_[gs]et_data() is used to pass the
region structure in gstbin.c.  Why not simply drop the pointer into the
pad?  Pads aren't so common that thowing another pointer into them will
cause a space problem, but forcing a function call and pthread lookup by
string for every cothread switch into a Src very well could be a
performance problem. 

I'll leave it for now, but unless there's a good reason to keep it that
way, I'd be inclined to go change that.
