possible fix


Patch that delays pad creation until after we've had a chance to sniff th=
e
first few bytes of the data to determine whether it's dts-in-wav or not. =
If it
is, patch amends caps to audio/x-dts before adding the pad. We need to de=
lay
pad creation for decodebin.

Putting this into bugzilla only for now, as there has been disagreement w=
hether
we want to do things like this or not.

Technically, it's a broken file. If it says it's PCM raw data and then it=
's
not, that's just wrong and shouldn't have created like this in the first =
place.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few files like this in the wild and mpla=
yer,
xine, and vlc all play them, only we don't. Me, I think we should strive =
to
play those files, just like we work around broken tags or other things th=
at
aren't correct according to spec.
