A very strange enhancement you have here ;-)

I don't expect this to be used very much. Media formats typically have their own
compression. I've never seen foo.avi.bz2 for example.

So I would think the benefit of having this element would be small (not zero,
but small). OTOH the costs of maintaining elements is non zero either. So this
plugin needs to go in a module that is not maintained as well as other ones, so
we don't spend effort on it. Wait for gst-plugins-unmaintained, a new 0.9 module
thomas is going to create, and propose it for addition there. Of course you will
have to do some 0.9 porting first.

Also, codewise, please use gstreamer style (indentation mainly). And add
yourself as the copyright holder. Patch ext/Makefile.am as well.
