This fix may not be of great general use, but I'll submit it for consideration.
With GST_DISABLE_OPTION_PARSING gst_init_get_option_group won't actually do
init, which the code assumes. The result is that gst is uninitialized, you get
asserts, catastrophic failure and so on. Could be fixed in
gst_init_get_option_group, but I've opted for this solution because it removes
the dependency on GOption completely and parsing only glib options but not gst
options doesn't seem too useful.
