           Summary: Create a sandboxed playback element
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base

GStreamer should provide a playback element that separates the network IO and
decoding from rendering. Demuxers and decoders are more likely to contain
security bugs and should be separated as much as possible from the rest of the
playback pipeline.

Source/demuxing/decoding should ideally be done in one process and communicate
and send the data over shmem/pipe etc to another process which is only sending
the decoded data to the audio and videosink.
