There are a few useful elements in gst-plugins-farsight that should probably be
merged into the core gst packages (either good or bad I suppose).

liveadder: a adder element that works with live discontinous streams, it
doesn't use collectpads, but instead has a small queue of packets.
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=gst-plugins-farsight.git;a=tree;f=gst/liveadder

fsselector: is an element with one sink and one src and will pick the "right"
element to fill it according to the caps.. Will probably have to be renamed and
has nothing to do with the selector in gst-p-bad
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=gst-plugins-farsight.git;a=tree;f=gst/selector

valve: 

dtmf: three elements to deal with dtmf
 - dtmfsrc that generates sound (is a live src)
 - rtpdtmfsrc that generates RFC4733 dtmf events (also a live src)
 - rtpdtmfdepay that converts RFC4733 dtmf events into sound
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=gst-plugins-farsight.git;a=tree;f=gst/dtmf

rtpmux: a muxer for various rtp streams (like dtmf, audio/CN and regular
sound), includes a dtmf muxer that allows locking the thing to only one pad
based on events emitted by [rtp]dtmfsrc
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/tester/gst-plugins-farsight-tester.git;a=tree;f=gst/rtpmux

We also have codec elements for the mimic/siren microsoft codecs, but they have
some patches pending... (and they definitely belong in bad/ugly)

There is also a "valve" element that drops all downstream traffic (buffers,
events, buffer_alloc calls), so that a part of a pipeline can be turned on/off
on demand (and also to allow plugin the rest of the pipeline later). But I'm
not certain its a good idea.
