            Bug ID: 762778
           Summary: API: add gst_element_class_add_static_pad_template()
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: git master
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gstreamer (core)
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: t.i.m at zen.co.uk
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

In bug #662664 it was decided to only add this to 0.10 and not to the future
1.x branch, because it was not needed in 1.x to fix the memory leak observed
there.

However, I'm proposing to add this again now, simply because the current API is
unnecessarily confusing for newbies and unnecessarily convoluted (why bother
with GstStaticPadTemplate structs? if so, why not just pass it directly to the
klass but have this additional step to convert it to an object, which is then
taken ownership of, it's just weird really).
