Unfortunately this does not work with ugly/ext/mad/id3tag because this element
does very bad things:

It adds a pad template with name "sink" and "src" in class_init of the base
class and then sets another one with the same name in class_init of the
subclass. This currently works but breaks with my patch of course because
before in class_init of the subclass there was no pad template with the name
(all removed in GstElement's base_init) and now there are (copied at the same
place).

Can we ignore this and simply fix the broken usage in that element (docs
explicitely say that _add_pad_template() must be called in base_init) or does
someone see another solution?
