Hi,
something like this is definitely needed but it was decided that it is a bad
idea to emit signals from the elements to query the application for
information.

The signal is emitted from a random thread and the application has to care
about proper dispatching to the thread running the Gtk main loop for example
and then can show a dialog and has to dispatch the result back to the other
thread.

What we need is a general mechanism for asking the application for
information... probably something going over the bus like a message with a new
flag to mark it as requiring an answer, add a
gst_element_post_message_with_reply() that waits until a reply is there (or a
timeout happend?), etc...
