If you explicitly specify glimagesink in your pipelines, then this patch 
will not affect you. But if you rely on gstreamer's autoplugging, then 
it's entirely coincidental that you're getting the sink you want; 
gstreamer makes no promises about what you end up with. It simply sorts 
sinks by their hardcoded rank, and picks the first one that initializes 
without error.

The upstream discussion has stalled two months ago. Meanwhile we have a 
real problem in qemu images: video playback does not work. If you can 
propose a better fix, you're very much welcome.
