i assume "play" is the pipeline which you have constructed with parse_launch? you'll need to use gst_bin_get_by_name, like this (untested):

GstElement *play = gst_parse_launch("fakesrc ! fakesink name=video-sink");
GstElement *videosink = gst_bin_get_by_name( GST_BIN(play), "video-sink");


apart from that, i'm also doing some computer vision, and use single elements (plugins) for individual tasks- after all, the ability to recombine them in different pipelines is what the beauty of gstreamer is all about.

i invite you to have a look at libwarsaw and warsaw
( http://iterative.org/warsaw/ ), where i've integrated quite some algorithms from OpenCV. I do the visualization of analysis data with cairo usually, because it looks nicer, but OpenCV also provides some drawing routines.
