Note that statically linking your app to GStreamer and the plugins will
require you to distribute their source code, as modified, separately
under the LGPL. Also the part of your executable which is not GStreamer
or the plugins will have to be distributed as a separate object file
and/or as source code, so that the user can relink a modified version of
GStreamer and the plugins -- see sections 6a and 6c of the LGPL for
details.

Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question ;-)
