Yes. But then, with bufferpools, every element needed to be fixed
to allocate buffers using the sink's bufferpools. Only a few
actually implemented this. Now, it's nearly trivial to add support
to elements, so I expect that by 0.8.0, a lot higher percentage
of elements will be using sinkpad-provided buffers.
