If we previously had subtitles coming in, the video
may be chained through a text overlay block. Before,
the code would end up trying to link pads that were
already linked and video would not get reconnected
properly.
To fix that, make sure that the candidate
pads are actually unlinked first. If a textoverlay
is present and no longer needed, it will be cleaned
up later in the reconfiguration sequence.

Requesting a new pad can start a reconfiguration cycle, where
playsink will block all input pads and wait for data on them
before doing internal reconfiguration. If a pad is released,
that reconfiguration might never trigger because it's now waiting
for a pad that doesn't exist any more.
In that case, complete the reconfiguration on pad release.
