Yes, please. No GStrings in API.

Random other comments on the API (only had a *very* quick glance):

 - don't use abbreviations, ie. "img-done" => "image-done",
   "res" => "resolution" (also "enc", "pp", "src", "mux" etc.)

 - separate words in property names with a dash, ie.
   "audioenc" => "audio-encoder", "inputcaps" => "input-caps"

 - nicer names for the action signals would be nice
   (no "user-" prefix please, use imperatives: do-this etc.)

 - mix of setting stuff via properties and other stuff via
   action signals is a bit weird (although I do understand
   why you do it).

 - further to the above: how about (just an idea) combining
   the "start" + "set-res[+fps]" action signals and the
   "mode" property. Then you'd get something like:

     - action "start-video-recording" (with resolution + fps args)

     - action "start-image-capture" (with resolution arg)

   which would set the mode automatically (or warn if a new
   start-foo was called without a corresponding stop-foo first).

 - maybe "img-done"/"image-done" should be a message on the bus?
