If your decoder can handle random frames, yes, it's possible to add
parallel processing this way (e.g. would work with PNG or jpeg). Would
require: roundrobin, then a queue after each pads, though we are missing an
element to close the loop, we need funnel, but with synchronization so that
buffers comes out in order. That would be a nice addition, and like
roundrobin should be very simple.
2. how do i use the roundrobin plugin, as its described as a "reverse of
> tee"

Now that you highlight this, I need to rework that doc. Reverse of tee is
funnel, roundrobin is like tee, 1 to N, but sends each buffer to one pad,
were tee sends buffer to all pads.

roundrobin element was added in current development phase, so will be
available in next stable release (1.18). It's a trivial element, feel free
to copy into your project if LGPL is compatible. It's part of
-bad/gst/rist, as this is the only usage inside GStreamer for now.
