This makes sure the application gets any context related messages and
can do whatever is required to a) get the sink a context or b) share
the context with other elements in the pipeline.
The proxying is necessary because the sink is not a child element of
playbin, but instead will at a later point be a child of some bin
inside playsink.

This allows to chose something else than input-selector
for multiple audio/video/text streams, e.g. an adder could
be used for audio.
It is needed for example to implement some of the more
advanced HTML5 video features.

Add the actual decoder/parser/etc caps at the very end to
make sure we don't cause empty caps to be returned, e.g.
if a parser asks us but a decoder is required after it
because no sink can handle the format directly.
This makes it possible to take advantage of the O(log n) lookups
of GSequence on the ~1000 element lists and only do iterations
on <10 element lists. Previously the code iterated over ~1000 element
lists multiple times.
Autoplug the decoder elements and sink elements based on
the number of common capsfeatures if the ranks are the same.
This will also helps to autoplug the h/w_decoder and h/w_renderer.

The compare_factories_func() should return negative value
if the rank of both PluginFeatures are equal and the name of
first PluginFeature comes before the second one (== ascending order).
...and in playbin2 additionally prefer sinks over parsers.
This makes sure that we a) always directly plug a sink if it supports
the (compressed) format and b) always plug parsers in front of decoders.
This avoids that bin being leftover and being found when reusing playbin2,
and fixes restarting on a new URI after failing to activate with a previous
URI.

For audio/video we should flush too for fastest stream switches but this
currently isn't possible because the flushes would need to go to the sink,
which then causes state changes and causes all timing information to be
changed.
Should work out of the box in 0.11 with the flush-stop that doesn't reset
the times.

Sending a non-flushing seek might not be enough for switching
to an external sub that has already been used because the flushes
are needed to reset the state of its decodebin's queue.
For example, if the subtitle is short enough, the queue might get
and EOS and keep its 'unexpected' return state. If the user switches
to another subtitle and back to the external one, the buffers
won't get past the queue.
This patch fixes this by adding the flush flag to the seek and
preventing that this flush leaves the suburidecodebin.

Make the uri property getter return the next uri, like it was configured in the
setter.
Make a new current-uri and current-suburi property that reflects the currently
playing uri and suburi.

This makes sure that we always prefer sinks that support a format without
decoding, independant of its rank. Previously we only sorted by rank.
