I guess there is no gstreamer design objection to add more than one
classification for a single element.Something like
"Filter/Effect/Video/Deinterlace, Filter/Converter/Video/Scaler,
Filter/Effect/Video/Colorbalance" :)

Basically we only need to enable autoplug for deinterlacer in the current
playbin at the moment. If I understood correctly all other code to enable the
autoplugging of elements like videoconvert, videobalance etc will be untouched
in this case. So just doing some elementfactory classification comparison +
capsfeatures comparison could be okay, If we are not going for some generalized
vpp_element autoplugging feature.
But IMHO, it would be good to have vpp_interface if we need to enable
autoplugging for each element like videobalance, videoconvert etc. 

Another thing that we should consider is the playback starting delay of
playbin. Gwenole might have some profiling information regarding this since he
was complaining about this :) So it  would be good to avoid string comparisons.

@Gwenole: What do you think about vpp filter enable/disable option? I guess it
is would be good to have such a feature since vappipostproc is doing many thing
in one pass as you said before.
