  GStreamer | gst-plugins-base | Ver: git
           Summary: [playbin] raw_decoding_mode seems to be set
                    unconditionally
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: Normal

As found by sebp on IRC, this commit adds the raw_decoding_mode to
gstplaybasebin.c:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-base/commit/?id=c2a56e31155cfee442fb85ed35092b07b1501f29

It seems that it always sets the raw_decoding_mode to TRUE while it should only
do that it the caps are raw. The effect is that for mpeg ts streams, the queues
after the demuxer fill up too quickly (due to lots of small ts packets) and
since the queues after the decoder are small too, some streams are simply not
detected and played.

Possible patch follows.
