modified version of playbin-text, takes filename instead of uri. automatically
sets suburi property if an srt file is found

this modified version of playbin-text looks for an external subtitle file (with
same filename as the supplied video container parameter and just the extension
replaced by ".srt")
it should then behave exactly as internal text/x-raw, dumping each subtitle
line when the sample is pulled from the appsink
instead though, the video playback doesn't even start
also, it complains that there is no subtitle decoder element (if it's missing,
but it shouldn't be needed since it's supposed to handle the raw text directly
anyway, i think the timing format of the srt file should be handled by the
ssaparse plugin)
ERROR: from element /GstPlayBin:playbin0/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin1: No
decoder available for type 'application/x-subtitle'.
