I don't understand the discoverer API for the missing plugin stuff, it looks
very weird.

You get the GstStructure from a missing-plugin message via
gst_discoverer_get_misc() [what a name...]?

Thing is, there might be multiple missing plugin messages, not just one. I
think we should make new API for that and either just return a list of
messages, or return an array of installer detail strings like we do in

http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/gstreamer-GstParse.html#gst-parse-context-get-missing-elements

I think any API should be limited to either messages or installer strings, the
GstStructure of GstMessage is all but an implementation detail here.
