+Summary: GstAtomic needs compare_and_swap
+
+The only method to currently compare atomic values is by using 
+dec_and_test, which makes it useless for anything but refcounting.
+
+I'd want to use it for state changes.
+
+Bug 63621 would offer implementations for some archs which are save to use 
+I think.
+
+btw: Should I open a seperate bug to stay close to glibs design so we can 
+one day remove the atomic stuff and use typedef GAtomic GstAtomicInt?
