Use channels to simplify device links #1

Currently, once and inter element is playing, it's channel cannot be changed without changing the state back to stopped and playing. To allow dynamic linking during run-time, a link is a small bin made up of an inter-sink linked to an inter-src. This creates a whole bunch of extra elements and buffers.

__tim is working on allowing the channel of inter elements to be changed while playing. Once this is ready, links can be created by setting the inter-sink element of a receiving device bin to be the channel of the inter-src element of the sending bin.

Created a patch for this under Bug 722877, but am stuck waiting on guidance for tests.
