I concur with everything Thomas wrote.

Also, if gst-register is loading zero plugins, then you
should fix that problem before moving on to the mad plugin.
I'm also compiling GStreamer for the ARM, and I've just
gotten it to compile and execute.

I ran "gst-register --gst-debug-level=5" to verify that it
found the normal plugins.  In my case, the plugins were
found, but each plugin wasn't recognized as a GStreamer
plugin. To make a long story short, when I compiled glib for
the arm, I supplied "glib_cv_uscore=yes" in the autogen
file; turns out I really wanted "glib_cv_uscore=no". After
reconfiguring and recompiling glib, GStreamer worked as
expected.

Other pages that helped me:

* glib-2.4.8/docs/reference/glib/html/glib-cross-compiling.html (from
within glib)
*
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/faq/html/chapter-using.html

Once "gst-register" loads plugins and "gst-inspect fakesrc"
returns expected information, then you can focus on loading
the mad plugin.

Just some thoughts; hope that helps.
