It's meant to produce one buffer per file and is supposed to be used only with
files that easily fit into allocated memory.  Using mmap() here would entail
the same problems that we've been seeing with filesrc, meaning that it's not
really an option because we can't do decent error handling: if something goes
wrong it might just take the entire app down.
