I am not sure what the solution is. Lets imagine one has this code in the app:

g_object_set(element, "param", value, NULL);

Now, one should do:

GParamSpec *pspec;
GstElementClass element_class;

element_class = GST_ELEMENT_GET_CLASS (element);
pspec = g_object_class_find_property(element_class, "param");
if (gst_param_spec_is_mutable (pspec, element)) {
  g_object_set(element, "param", value, NULL);
}

This is ofcourse racy, as one needs to take a lock. The
gst_param_spec_is_mutable() already takes GST_OBJECT_LOCK(), so the app can't
use that. Should we rather have 
gboolean gst_param_spec_set_if_mutable(element_class, "param", value);
?

Also we should add another API
gst_element_property_is_mutable (element, property_name)
for convinience.
