Thanks for the Assistance George,

but no cigar..
I am using Wheezy on the Raspberry and do the following..

git clone -b raspberry git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-omx
./autogen --noconfigure
./configure --prefix=/home/pi/omx_new
make

some time later...

export GST_PLUGIN_PATH=/home/pi/omx_new/lib/gstreamer-0.10/
export GST_OMX_CONFIG_DIR=/home/pi/omx_new/lib/gstreamer-0.10/
(places a renamed gstomx.conf raspberry version at that location)

rm -rf /home/pi/.gstreamer-0.10
GST_DEBUG=3 gst-inspect-0.10

--output--

It appears as all the modules are loaded, but hangs querying the caps
(or something to that order)
