When doing only a single stream of audio/video this hardly matters,
but when doing many at the same time, the fact that you have to get
a hold of the glib global type-system lock every time you process a buffer,
means that there is a limit to how many streams you can process in
parallel.
Luckily the fix is very simple, by doing a cast rather than a full
type-check.
