>> 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.

is funnel, roundrobin is like tee, 1 to N, but sends each buffer to one
pad, were tee sends buffer to all pads.

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.
