Not sure this is correct to assume in general. It may be true for some very
specific use cases, but very often you will still want queues which can hold
more than 1 buffer after demuxers and tee.

I'd rather improve queue/multiqueue etc. than introduce yet another element
that can only be used in very specific circumstances (as if this stuff wasn't
hard enough already).

Regarding the playbin2 case, where there is a very small queue in front of the
sinks, we could just add another flag to make playbin2 not plug these, for
sinks that have internal queues.
