 more important fix - invalid use of g_error in gst_init
 
 
 ------- Additional Comments From rbultje at ronald.bitfreak.net  2003-04-04 13:03 -------
 We should never use exit() inside a library. Just return or use
 g_error() or so. Imo, using g_error here is fine.

+1) gst_init parses command line parameters.
+
+2) gst_init only returns if it could initialize safely (currently that
+includes parsing all command line parameters). That's according to the
+docs.
+
+3) g_error is "A convenience function/macro to log an error message.
+Error messages are always fatal, resulting in a call to abort() to
+terminate the application. This function will result in a core dump;
+don't use it for errors you expect. Using this function indicates a
+bug in your program, i.e. an assertion failure."
+And no, I don't want a SIGSEGV when somebody passed a wrong argument
+to a gst program.
