 something like:
 
 DISPLAY=cnn.com:0 gst-register
 
 Will cause it to error out, eventually.  As the display doesn't seem to be
 needed at all, it should be ignored.

+Actually the Display is needed at the moment.
+
+The Videosink tries to get infromation about the used display and use
+that on its padtemplates.
+
+I believe the right behaviour would be to use generic caps on the
+padtemplates and only check if the given caps are valid upon _link.
+
+
+As a sidenode:
+We should make sure that other hardware dependant plugins (alsa, oss,
+v4l, etc) use generic caps, too.
+
+Current behaviour would need a rerun of gst_register everytime you
+change hardware.
+
+Somebody change the component to gst-plugins please.
