--- Comment #26 from Tim-Philipp Müller <t.i.m at zen.co.uk> ---
I'm a bit concerned about this commit and wonder if it needs more discussion:

  matroskademux: Parse successive Tracks elements

  This patch allows matroskademux to parse a second Tracks element,
  erroring out if the tracks are not compatible (different number, type or
  codec) and emitting new caps and tag events should they have changed.

So now we push potentially different caps (even if same codec) on an existing
source pad, right?

Is that something we do anywhere else?

My understanding is that we have explicitly not been doing this because the old
decodebin couldn't handle this.

We have a different mechanism for all of this using the GstStream API and
adding new pad, which is implemented in tsdemux, for example.
