It could, with some effort, be factored such that the core bits were abstracted from shell IO so that it could be wrapped in an android (or ios or whatever) shell.

I have also wished for something like that :). It would be extremely 
handy. Another way to do it might be to use qemu to run an ARM 
cross-compiled gst-inspect binary on a .so file produced by ndk-build. 
By using binfmt, it would be transparent when used on the host machine. 
Done this way, I'm guessing it wouldn't require modifying gst-inspect 
itself.
