Streaming from Android works acceptably with two caveats:
- GStreamer tsdemux need a patch https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743363
- We must use a jitterbuffer element (currently requires a hack)

Windows won't show miracast sinks in the UI unless device type is in their whitelist. Likewise Microsoft Wireless Display will only respond to devices of specific device type. "television" (category 7, subcategory 1) is known to work for sinks and "smartphone" (category 10, subcategory 5) is known to work for sources. Connman sets these values based on hostnamed chassis type but does not yet support "television" type.
