We accommodate for the following requirements:
- Application is informed when an async operation starts and completes.
- It should be possible for the application to generically detect common
operations and incorporate their progress into the GUI.
- Applications can cancel pending operations by doing regular state changes.
- Applications should be abe able to wait for completion of async operations.
- Applications should be able to wait for completion of async operations.
We allow for the following scenarios:
- Elements want to inform the application about asynchronous DNS lookups and
pending network requests. This includes starting and completing the lookup.
- Elements opening devices and resources assynchronously.
- Elements opening devices and resources asynchronously.
- Applications having more freedom to implement timeout and cancelation of
operations that currently block the state changes or happen invisibly behind
the scenes.

We would like to make the state change function, instead, start a separate

back to the NULL state, all pending operations would be canceled immediately.
For downward state changes, we want to let the application implement its own
timeout mechanism. For example: when stopping an RTSP stream, the clients
needs to send a TEARDOWN request to the server. This can however take an

In the case of async operations on source, this will automatically force sinks
to stay async because they will not preroll before the source can produce data.
The fact that other asynchonous operations happen behind the scnes is irrelevant
for the prerolling process so it is not implemented with the ASYNC state change
return value in order to not complicate the state changes and mix concepts.

Instead, a thread would be started to perform these operations asynchronously
and the state change would complete with the usual NO_PREROLL return value.
