Hi,
Tested, seems to work well! switching is smooth, if codec fails
it falls back to mjpeg (not very loudly), no default gstreamer
codec currently. As mentioned i find this feature useful :)

When moving to multiple codecs registration we may want to do
something more solid, for example checking for gstreamer's codec
availability before registering plugins or even trying to initialize the
pipeline before registration.
This will probably require more efforts, I'll try invest some time on
that too.
