<p>I assume the gstreamer developers must love answering the same questions over and over again for the lack of decent documentation about getting the bits and pieces needed to actually do anything.</p>

<p><font face="times new roman">But if I run the gst-inspect command in a MINGW32 window (started with the msys.bat file), or double clicking the c:\gstreamr\bin\gst-inspect-0.10.exe</font></p>
