5 - replace object/structure set/get macros with actual functions.
7 - events should all use GstStructure
9 - reorganize headers (split app headers vs plugin headers maybe)
11 - make GstPadLinkReturn internal (to either plugins+core or just core)
12 and return gboolean to apps.
14 - rewrite GstIndex (it's gross)
16 - gst_init() et al. need to work correctly when called multiple times
17 and from libraries, etc.
19 - gst_pad_get_pad_template_caps -> gst_pad_get_template_caps()
21 - add ways for autopluggers to manage negotiation of their children.
22 This would allow autopluggers to no longer need helper identities.
24 - remove float support from dparams
26 - dparams: should be converted into some kind of special pad and
27 object property combination.
29 - remove gst_element_yield()
31 - read/write locks on buffers
33 - be able to send events to unlinked pads (bug #114442)
35 - caps should have a flag on fields to indicate that the field is optional
42 "An idea I had once was to force registration of mimetypes and then
43 only allow caps with a registered mimetype - like it's done now with caps.
44 You could then add functions to those registrations like
45 - gchar *get_human_readable_string (caps);
46 should be kinda selfexplanatory. Would return stuff like "16bit signed
47 integer audio", "MPEG2 video" or "video format in RGB colorspace" (for
49 - GstCaps *default_fixate (const GstCaps *caps);
50 A default fixation function, so we don't fixate to minimum integer
51 anymore but have the ability to fixate to 320x240 for video or 44100 for
53 - gboolean validate (const GstCaps *caps);
54 check if the given caps are ok for this mimetype - debugging only function
55 I'd _really_ like to have - especially during gst_register.
57 But that's 0.10 material."
61 autopluggers would be easier to write if there was a core method
62 to do what plugidentities do.

72 - a method for elements to know when downstream elements are ignoring
73 the data stream. This would allow automatic shutoff of pipelines
74 whose processing is being dumped.
