Well, gst_element_factory_make is not strictly a constructor of
GstElement. I think that the requirement of a constructor for an object
in an object oriented language should return the type of the created
object and not something that is a subclass of it.

But I must say that gst.Element('mad') is quite nice syntax even though
it breaks the object-oriented paradigm.
