Looks good to me. Niggles:

 - argv[1] needs to be a URI, but the help string
   says 'media file'. Maybe add some kind of

   if (gst_uri_is_valid (argv[1]))
     uri = g_strdup (argv[1]);
   else
     uri = gst_filename_to_uri (argv[1], NULL);

   (this is also something that trips up
   people quite a lot, so might be worth
   having in a hello world).

 - wonder if for a first version it would be even
   better to get rid of the main loop, and
   just do a

   while ((msg = gst_bus_*()) {
     ...
   }

   instead. (Many people don't understand
   main loops, or are confused by them).
