Took a quick look at the CAF spec. It is full audio file inside another file
structure. Also has the usual: HEADER | DATA | INDEX (data and index can be in
any order, there is also some metadata entries but they are optional).

One advantage of inheriting from GstElement is being able to go and parse the
index when it is at the end just like qtdemux does when moov if after mdat. One
can also seek without the index using estimatives for the audio frame sizes
when VBR is used.
