           Summary: gnonlin should possibly not use element factory to look
                    for request pads
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gnonlin
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net
        ReportedBy: thomas at apestaart.org

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


In commit a15d7b8ec88f4d2f9495b5a8cee266d4fe643dc0 code was added to fallback
in case there is no element factory for the element.  It falls back to looking
at the element's class request pad templates.

It's not correct in the case of a subclass of gst.Bin for example - the element
factory ends up being the bin's element factory, so if you define request pad
templates on the subclass, they are not seen by gnonlin.

It looks like gnonlin should just use the element class's request pad
templates.
