This is duplicated the comment and a part of
desc = g_strdup_printf("appsrc name=src is-live=true format=time max-bytes=0 block=true "
                           "caps=%s ! %s ! videoconvert ! appsink name=sink "
                           "caps=video/x-raw,format=BGRx sync=false drop=false",
                           gst_opts[decoder->base.codec_type].dec_caps,
                           gst_opts[decoder->base.codec_type].dec_name);

from create_pipeline(), dunno if a "set_appsrc_props()" helper would make a lot
of sense here (it would be very small).

Aren't you leaking 'sink' here?
I would have written this as:

    sink = gst_element_factory_make("appsink", "sink");
    g_object_set(playbin,
                "uri", "appsrc://",
                 "video-sink", sink,
                 NULL);
    decoder->appsink = GST_APP_SINK(sink);

(ie g_object_set() / playbin set_property vfunc should take care of any extra
reference they need themselves)

Apart from this, and the comments on the previous version, looks good to me (did not test it).
