/*
 * TODO:
 * - handle automatic removal of unneeded elements
 * - make the spider handle and send events (esp. new media)
 * - decide if we plug pads or elements, currently it's a mess
 * - allow unlinking
 * - implement proper saving/loading from xml
 * - implement a way to allow merging/splitting (aka tee)
 * - find ways to define which elements to use when plugging
 * - remove pads
 * - improve typefinding
 * - react to errors inside the pipeline
 * - implement more properties, change the current
 * - emit signals (most important: "NOT PLUGGABLE")
 * - implement something for reporting the state of the spider
 *   to allow easier debugging.
 *   (could be useful for bins in general)
 * - fix bugs
 * ...
