           Summary: bufferpool: No way to override acquire_buffer to chose

The buffer always has to be returned from the default implementation of
acquire_buffer currently because that handles bookkeeping of the internal
GstBufferPool state. Also there's no way to get a list of all buffers that are
currently there.

The documentation of GstBufferPoolAcquireParams however mentions that custom
implementations of acquire_buffer could use the information of the params to
chose a specific buffer.
