It is, but it's also a very good idea to wait until the caps arrived in the
srcpads that you're blocking, just so you know already what is going to come
out of this pad and have the negotiation finished already. What exactly is the
problem in gnonlin? What difference does it make to block on stream-start vs.
segment?

I guess so, it would mean that we won't do real zerocopy with libav most of the
time... but slower is probably better than stuff crashing or failing in
interesting ways. Edward?
