           Summary: Add interface for "allow-overwrite" signal in sinks
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: HEAD CVS
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


gnomevfssink provides a "allow-overwrite" signal, which can be used to indicate
that the destination file should be overwritten if it already exists.

Using this in a situation other than directly creating the sink (e.g.
gst_element_make_from_uri) is problematic for two reasons:
1) you have to check the type of the sink, such as with g_type_is_a
2) you can't do it for other sinks.

It would be good if there was an interface for this that sinks could implement,
so applications could do this without sink-specific code.
