Restrictions and Known bugs

• ahcsrc element is a child element of GstPushSrc so it cannot be compatible with camerabin2 as it is.

• No properties to set camera options like resolution, video formats. Each option can be set by caps filter. The options of real camera may vary on different android devices, so supported options should be analyzed on android application side.
