In the case where on-disk buffering is done it should be done to the Application Cache (if enabled). This would allow us to play the buffered file directly for the next playbacks of the media URI. - find a way to configure the queue2 created by uridecodebin, we should set the temp-template property to point to the Cache directory before buffering starts - when loading a URI, first check if it's been previously cached. If so, load the cached file One should also check the use-cases where buffering is interrupted or a seek is done (=> regions of the buffered media got skipped).
