As I said on IRC earlier, I think we need to come up with a better way of
making sure that we handle errors properly if there's no suitable encoder. Just
going ahead with "maybe passthrough is all that's needed" and then later
failing with a not-linked error if encoding is required seems .. suboptimal.
Maybe one could come up with a fake encoder element that just posts an error
(and a missing-plugin message) if it receives a buffer or something like that.

Also, not entirely sure if the whole parser issue has really been fixed, I
think we still need to make parsers accept parsed input (which we can do now,
but haven't done it yet afaik). Might do that later if I don't forget.
