With *host* creating the stream or are you testing something else? :)
With the following diff, I can test an error in the pipeline which
should remove the stream, see:

Just one critical, which is expected because we might have frames to
decode while we already remove the decoder.

Its not, because your patch is trying to make avdec_h264 work because of
h264parse and that means you are trying to guarantee h264 to succeed if
this two elements are present

It is unrelated.

Have you checked the commit log of that patch?

What I'm trying to stress is that we are trying to not check *specific*
plugins related to decode/parse a stream. We don't know what our users
will be using and we should not enforce them to use avdec_h264 for
instance. You are doing this in this patch and that's why I'm against
it.
I could be wrong that's why I'm waiting for someone else's feedback. I
stated that we will not agree on this.
I would take the patch to include parsers if it is agnostic to plugins
as a workaround but I still don't think is the right way...
