There's a
GST_DEBUG ("Adding element %s of type %s and syncing state with autoplugger", 
GST_ELEMENT_NAME (element), GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_NAME (plugpath->data));
in the code. So it's supposed to tell you what it does.
(Anyone noticing I can't test myself atm? ;))

That's because we only market the "finished" stuff. All of the other code in 
the other modules ranges from bitrotten and ages old to current, from ideas to 
proof-of-concept, from free to not free and from interesting to boring.
gst-monkeymedia, gst-shorten, gst-recorder, gst-tv, gst-overlay, gst-autoplug 
etc. are all examples of code that is not quite finished for one reason or 
another.
