The problem with that is that we currently easily get full queues (most
of the time the audio queue is full), because files are poorly interleaved
and we only buffer after decoding.

Hm...
Maybe we shouldn't limit the buffers, but the memory, that way we might
get around the most common problem of the audio queue being full.
I guess we need to experiment a bit with that. Does 10MB/no timelimit/no
bufferlimit (or a big bufferlimit) sound reasonable?

The ideal solution would be to set the defaults based on available memory
inside GstPlay, but even then you'd have to experiment to figure out the
correct values...
