Why are you loading JPEG into the AVI parser?  Shouldn't the AVI parser
act like the MPEG system stream demux and just create a new src pad with
the name "MJPA_0" or something?  Then the application is responsible for
figuring out what element to load and hook into that.  Eventually a
meta-element could be created that would be a subclass of Bin and be able
to do that itself with the result of ending up with a raw video output on
itself.

Not sure I parse that...
