I've written a new library as part of Farsight2 that could be very useful for
GStreamer developers and I think it should be removed from Farsight2 and added
to gst-plugins-base.
It's called GstFilters, and i've demo-ed/shown it at GUADEC and blogged about
it here : http://kakaroto.homelinux.net/2010/08/fsu-gstreamer-made-simple/

It's basically a very simplified API for building GStreamer pipelines without
having to worry about error checking, caps, pads, etc.. It's the concept of a
chained list of 'filters' which add a specific feature to the pipeline (if
possible). It will be mostly useful for VoIP applications or for applications
that want to do dynamic changes to a running pipeline.

The code has been ported to gst-plugins-base and it is now available in my
'move-filters' branch :
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/kakaroto/gst-plugins-base.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/move-filters

You can see the API/Docs here :
http://people.collabora.co.uk/~kakaroto/gpb-docs/gstreamer-filters.html and a
good example of how to use it (and its simplicity) here :
http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=user/kakaroto/gst-plugins-base.git;a=blob;f=tests/examples/filters/grid-effects.c;h=8bff7e68339a9cd53e3ac1936ae33072f2f2541e;hb=7379fb3b84fbc63892d12236ce67dd6a87bfaa62

Please review/comment and merge!

Thank you.
