Description emutavchi 2023-05-08 12:55:27 PDT

Creating auto sinks may unnecessarily allocate resources and interfere with another playback. This is true for embedded devices where the sink allocates resources in a READY state (WesterosSink, Realtek, Amlogic, Broadcom). For example in the secondary (video-only) playback use case: the audio sink interferes with the main playback.

Another use case is support for "external" playback (or playback with "decoder" sink elements). In this case, we want playbin2 to auto-plug needed elements.
