Hi Stefan,
Over the past year I have been working to provide a comprehensive set of
precompiled binaries for GStreamer in Windows through a project called
GStreamer WinBuild, a complete build system for Linux and Windows (we are also
working in giving support for Mac OSX).
The feedback I get from the users is that both dshowvideosrc and dshowaudiosrc 
are doing well on XP and Vista even if the quality of the plugins is not the
best we could expect (ksvideosrc is also there but does work very well on
Vista). Moreover Julien Isorce has been working lately in refactoring the dshow
stuff and has merged important improvements in the audio source elements(Bug
#587595). So we can consider that these source elements are actually the best
ones.
We are currently ranking PRIMARY both dshowvideosrc and dshowaudiosrc elements,
so these elements are electable by autovideosrc and autoaudiosrc.
We are also using in gst-plugins-good/win32/common/config.h the following
settings:

/* Default audio sink */
#define DEFAULT_AUDIOSINK "directsoundsink"

/* Default audio source */
#define DEFAULT_AUDIOSRC "dshowaudiosrc"

/* Default video sink */
#define DEFAULT_VIDEOSINK "directdrawsink"

/* Default video source */
#define DEFAULT_VIDEOSRC "dshowvideosrc"

I don't know if it has some effect somewhere, but in case...

Ragarding camerabin, I suppose that using auto*src would be the best option,
even if I'd prefer using gconf*src on linux so users could select the default
sources to use through 'gstreamer-properties'
