[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

--- Comment #2 from minfrin at sharp.fm ---
We have two.

The first is that we need to limit the length of the total size of the HTTP
body, as further downstream processing is taking place that isn't able to work
on unbounded data sizes.

The second is that on particular case we're generating thumbnails and
submitting it to a service via HTTP. Right now, two or more thumbnails are
concatenated together by gstreamer and that makes life hard for the downstream
service, which wants images one at a time.

The current behaviour is effectively unbounded, and creates all sorts of
failure cases which can be avoided if the souphttpclientsink can be told to
pause once it reaches a certain size, allowing the gstreamer queue to soak up
the delay.
