Well, I'm one of those GStreamer developers and I think it's a good idea to add support for that in playbin... if necessary create another playbin2 for this :)

> From what I can see, it doesn't look like there's much we could add to playbin anyway. It would be nice if playbin did the audio mixing for us, but for text we need individual pads, which is what decodebin gives us.

There could be for audio/video/text a choice between:
- Allowing a sink per stream (-> gives you what you want for text)
- Allowing a single sink and then let GStreamer do some mixing which can be controlled via properties (-> gives you what you want for audio, and probably also for video)
