------- Comment #5 from Wim Taymans  2006-11-13 18:22 UTC -------
collectpads should not discard unlinked pads, if the muxer operates in pull
mode, this would not trigger a pad block on the sinks and would make dynamic
plugging impossible.
It also allows to easily switch sources on the muxer/mixer without having to
block all other pads (to disallow potential muxing of the unlinked pad while
reconnecting)

If a sinkpad is no longer used, it should be _unlinked and _released. It sucks
that refcounting does not work here as the pad does not have any indication how
it was created... that's 0.11 work.

Trying to figure out where the behaviour of muxers should be documented...
