loads of things

status:
        

information (e.g. query settings):
        currently info is output on the first outlet with an "info" message
        +: scales well to modules with varying #outlets
        -: modules don't know about "info" message
             . easy fix: just ignore "info" messages; but what happens if a modules actually needs the "info" message?)
             . use a selector more unlikely to be used: "_info"

graph building:
      currently graphs are built by sending a "bang" message to [pdgst]
      how to automatically build graphs?: e.g. polling the outlets regularily

      objects that are just lying around might disturb the pipeline



      idea: currently a sink-element will attach itself to a source-element
            how about making the source-element attach a sink to itself?
            implementation:   
                src sends out a ping; snk replies to ping (either directly )

graph changing:
      changing a graph at runtime requires recompilation; we don't have any way to detect a graph change in Pd directly
      idea: just poll all the outlets regularily
        

stability:
        crashes when an object gets deleted


deleting:
        deleting active objects in the pipeline might crash Pd
        deleting objects yields an error:(<unknown>:13903): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid uninstantiatable type `<invalid>' in cast to `GstObject'
                                         (<unknown>:13903): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: gst_object_unref: assertion `((GObject *) object)->ref_count > 0' failed




specifics
=========

 bus-callback-handler (deletion) not working at all it seems like the handle does not really get updated...CHECK code where the buscb_id get's set
