gst_element_connect () is what used to be gst_element_connect_elements.
gst_element_connect_pads is what used to be gst_element_connect.

If it is in fact the case that it connects every src to every sink, yes
that's quite wrong. It would need a quick fix then. I haven't had any
problems yet though, so I think it's acting as one might expect (connect
one pad from src to one pad from the sink). It's quite a useful
function; also see gst_element_connect_many (), also a simplifier.
