The alternative would be to only start the thread when it is needed and shut it
down afterwards. Starting threads is nowadays very fast, so shouldn't cause
much overhead. Starting/stopping the thread in NULL<->READY sounds ok, but
actually READY<->PAUSED should be sufficient here too (there's no dataflow in
READY, and this thread is only used when dataflow is happening).

Using a GstTask here would probably simplify code a bit, as it has functions to
start/stop/pause the thread which you otherwise have to implement yourself. Not
exactly rocket science, but still nice to not worry about that ;)
