Hi,
in 0.11 we should definitely merge some plugins with external dependencies
together into one. This makes sense because more shared objects a) need more
time for the registry to check if it's up to date and b) need more memory and
dynamic linking time at runtime.

One example would be:
audioconvert, audioresample, audiotestsrc, interleave, deinterleave merged into
a single "basic audio elements" plugin.
