Proposed patch

Since a FLV format is slowly dying, it's good to have some support the VP6
Flash format, e.g. for streaming as fragmented mp4 without expensive
re-encoding. That will also let develop an HTML solution that will re-encode
FLV on-the-fly and feed in to the Video element via MediaSource API (if a web
browser decide to adopt GStreamer as a playback, e.g http://bugzil.la/794282)

The VP6F/MP4 videos can be generated by ffmpeg:

  ffmpeg -i hobbit_vp6.flv -acodec copy -vcodec copy -f f4v hobbit_vp6.mp4

Currently "gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///.../hobbit_vp6.mp4", outputs:

   WARNING: from element /GstPlayBin2:playbin20/GstURIDecodeBin:uridecodebin0:
No decoder available for type 'video/x-gst-fourcc-VP6F, width=(int)848,
height=(int)368, framerate=(fraction)500/21, pixel-aspect-ratio=(fraction)1/1'.
