           Summary: playbin2: "text-sink" is supposed to handle raw
                    subtitle data?
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.10.28
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal

playbin2's "text-sink" property does not work as it seems. 

$ gst-inspect playbin2|grep text-sink
  text-sink           : the text output element to use (NULL = default
textoverlay)
$

I expected "text-sink" just rendered text. But actually the text-sink needs to
parse raw subtitle data, rather than parsed text. Like this:

$ gst-launch playbin2 ....  text-sink="subparse ! fakesink dump=1"

I'm not sure whether it is intended. But I think most application authors don't
want to change subtitle parsing, but just want to redirect the subtitle output.
