Why do we keep adding signal notify stuff emitted from streaming threads
everywhere? This sucked, a lot, in 0.8, and nothing much has changed since
then:

 - it's painful for apps, since they have to marshal
   things into the main thread (not to mention that
   those poor souls who just wanted to write a simple
   player using playbin2 have to learn about threading
   and marshalling things into the other threads).

 - it's racy and may lead to crashes due to still
   unfixed GObject bugs.

 - it's hard to extend (add new arguments etc.)

In fact, the only upside I can see is that it's introspectable via gst-inspect.

Can we please come up with a better system for these things?
