@Jaap: I have no problem with simple APIs but adding them to the GStreamer core
is not a good idea for the same reason GTK+ does not have an API for a simple
text editor.

I believe we should have a simple API for common things, like the audio
playback example and I also believe it should go into a library, other than
GStreamer, that does this. 

For events you also typically want to cache them serverside (to reduce latency
and CPU, especially in embedded devices and thin clients). The above simple API
on top of playbin then needs to be extended some more (it also does not handle
the cases where you have an error while playing). 

I'm willing to add this as an example object that demonstrates how to shuffly
around signals, GError and encapsulate multiple GStreamer objects, but going as
far as promote this as the blessed 'ding'-API is not going to happen.
