Right, that's not going to work (yet) in this case because
gst_parse_launch() won't post missing-element messages on the bus. It
could be fixed to do that, but then the messages would immediately be
dropped because the pipeline is still in NULL state at that point (I
think), so that needs working around somehow then.

So, erm, do that please! :)
