The new ringbuffer GstBufferFormatType value: GST_BUFTYPE_NONLINEAR makes no
sense to me.

NONLINEAR is the wrong name for multiple reasons - most of the other buffer
types there are nonlinear in one way or another. Perhaps the intended meaning
was something about block-based compression?

But there are several existing block-based, compressed, buffer types there.

I think these should just be added individually - GST_BUFTYPE_IEC958,
GST_BUFTYPE_AC3, etc.

The implementation has some issues too, but it's a step in the right direction,
and isn't a regression, so shouldn't block a release.
