           Summary: Elementgen doesn't handle missing plugins

          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

     GNOME version: Unspecified
   GNOME milestone: Unspecified


Please describe the problem:
Some of the GStreamer elements are missing on Windows, like xvimagesink, fdsink
and fdsrc. If an element can't be found the build should just continue, but
without generating the bindings for that plugin.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?


Other information:
The solution is twofold.

gst-xmlinspect gives an error if the plugin is not found, which interrupts the
build process. So even if the plugin is not found, exit with 0.

The inspect/plugin.raw files for missing plugins are empty, which causes XML
error for element-gen. The error message should go to stderr, so that it
doesn't end up in the generated .cs file.
