--- Comment #1 from Tim-Philipp Müller <t.i.m at zen.co.uk> ---
Not sure I understand. Example:

$ gst-inspect-1.0 avdec_ape

Factory Details:
  Rank                     marginal (64)
  Long-name                libav Monkey's Audio decoder
  Klass                    Codec/Decoder/Audio
  Description              libav ape decoder


Why would we prefer the 'description' here over the 'long-name' ?

If it's only because of --enable-small then I would agree that we should use
name as fallback if long_name is NULL.
