           Summary: unused custom path api in registry
    Classification: Desktop
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-bugs at lists.sourceforge.net

These two function & two macros are quite useless:
gst_registry_add_path
gst_registry_get_path_list

gst_default_registry_add_path
gst_default_registry_get_path_list

All one can do is adding the path and reading it back. The "paths" GList in
GstRegistry is not used by anything else. That means added path entries are not
used when reading the registry and They won't be used as one cannot set them
before the registry is read. That list would need to be a static list (like
_priv_gst_plugin_paths in gst.c).

The attached patch markes the api as deprecated and adds FIXME-0.11 comments.
