gst-inspect will give you a list of elements, and gst-inspect
elementname will give you details about this element. We don't have a
webpage yet containing all this info, although I badly want this. I may
end up writing it myself.

Don't count on it. We build on win32, but we don't have directshow
integration plugins. Someone should write those.

Shipping plugins is possible in your project, although you'd probably
need to ship your own gstreamer, too. There's a piece in the application
development manual about element integration in applications, then it
becomes one binary or a bunch of shared object files linked in your
binary. Shipping actually loadable plugins is possible, but would
require some fiddling with having multiple registries, I'm not 100% sure
how that would work.

Cheers,

Ronald
