there are many excellent GStreamer - based apps scaling very well up to
hundreds of threads.

One for all:

Afaik limits are given on how well are the custom elements in your pipeline
written and on your system capacity. For instance, you may have custom -and
not well designed- codec elements or something coming from gst-plugins-bad
(I'm not saying all the stuff there is bad, but imo it's not granted to be
in a good shape).
