I don't see the point of scenes or any such fancy thing in the core of gst
or a "supposed-to-be-simple" lib like gstplay. libgstplat is supposed to be a
player and could maybe fetch things like movie title, author, copyright 
info from
the stream. But isn't something like scenes completely out-of-scope for 
libgstplay?

P.S. lavsink/lavsrc is being worked on, mjpeg development is just taking a 
rush so
I didn't have much time yet to work on it - but it's being worked on :-) - 
the libs
themselves are already functional)
