I tend to agree here.  If the side effect of using interfaces is we
won't be able to easily influence our GstObjects from
gst-launch/gst-editor/whatever, we should consider finding some way of
putting this in.  I thought interfaces where some sort of per-class
space whereas objects are per-instance space.

At the very least, we should somehow support property setting on an
object.  Whether or not internally it uses interfaces to do so is
another point.

Am I missing something ?
