We don't have to be ABI stable, as long as we do proper libtool
versioning. We're not part of the developer platform.

However, this requires that we use separate libtool versions for
libgstplay and other modules in gst-plugins.

I simply disagree with this one. It's a dependency. Period. If we don't
have it, we don't build it. We do that right now, too. It works like a
charm.

Don't get me wrong, you ave a point. I just don't agree with all you've
said here. I currently don't think we should separate all the things.
For 1.0, it might be a good idea, yes.
