* A decode group combines a number of chains that are created by a

* This continues until the top-level decode chain is complete. A decode

* If this happens at some point, all endpads of all active groups are exposed.
* For this decodebin2 adds the endpads, signals no-more-pads and then unblocks
* them. Now playback starts.

* If one of the chains that end on a endpad receives EOS decodebin2 checks upwards
* via the parent pointers if all chains and groups are drained. In that case
