Original commit message from CVS:
- if you call gst_element_request_pad_by_name() with, say "sink4" as the pad name
and there is a "sink%d" template, the request_new_pad function will be called.
this is to allow for, for example, requesting a certain channel on a multichannel
device.
- to this end, request_new_pad now has the following prototype:
GstPad* (*request_new_pad) (GstElement *element, GstPadTemplate *templ, const gchar *name)
if request_pad_by_name was called with a name like "sink%d" (i.e. no parsing
was necessary) then NULL is passed as 'name'.
- all plugins that use request pads have been changed to the new api.
also, some incremental (untested) alsa updates, switching to the bytestream api...
