The problem is the shortest path algorithm in spider. Some explanation: spider
tries to connect based on template caps-calculated shortest path algorithms.
FFmpeg has no way of obtaining the supported template caps per plugin, just one
bug whole pile of 'em. So what ffmpegdemux does is that it places *all* caps
supported by ffmpeg (including CODEC_ID_RAWVIDEO) on the template. One of them
allows direct linking to xvimagesink and thus it chooses this one over mpegdemux.

Direct:
* ffmpeg demuxers need to be temporarily disabled, at least the ones that
interfere with GStreamer ones (asf, qt, mpg, avi, possibly more).

Indirect:
* we need a smarter autoplugger that doesn't use template caps but rather
preferred demuxers and actual pad caps.
