Since the function of playbin is to decide what decoders to use, and
this
platform already IS the decoder, why isn't this element simply replacing
playbin in the pipeline?  I don't understand the logic of using a
decoder-
match-and-connect element to front-end a decoder, unless there's an
option
of additional decoders, and this hardware is just one of the many.
