that's exactly what we do. anyway we use this patch in production since it's a
very important feature to be able to protect any component in a networked
environment ie. the servers which may produce too many video frames which can
cause out of memory on the server side eg when you see a live stream it's more
important to see the actual images rather then all frames. and o the client
side eg. when the display is slower then the produces (network/anything else)
to render the video eg. on a 100 parallel video wall stream case it's a rather
larger cpu/gpu strees and in this case it's very useful to drop frames in the
decoded stream (since we also save cpu compared to if we drop after the
decoding).

i can send out current patches but only for the 0.10 series since we still use
it (until we manage the rather new glib requirement of gst-1.0).
