           Summary: pbutils: descriptions: Allow smart codec tag handling
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-plugins-base
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: bilboed at gmail.com
         QAContact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---


We already have internally the information on what type of stream (audio,
video, container, subtitle, ...) a certain caps is.
Instead of forcing callers to specify which CODEC_TAG category a certain
caps is, use that information to make a smart choice.

Does not break previous behaviour of
gst_pb_utils_add_codec_description_to_tag_list
(if tag is specified it will be used, if caps is invalid it will be rejected,
...).
