Only get_type() functions for public API / public classes/objects that you can
derive from are exported (ie. in libgst*-0.10.{so,dll,dylib}.

Plugins don't export any symbols other than a hook that allows GStreamer to
find the plugin init function.

If you want to get the GType of decodebin, you need to create one and use the
GObject API to get the GType from the object (or load the plugin and get the
GType via GstElementFactory). I'm not sure why you would need that though.

Some _get_type() function implementations are created via the GST_BOILERPLATE +
G_DEFINE_TYPE macros.
