Just write a normal element that :
- initialy loads the dsp code to the dsp,
- sends incomming data to the dsp,
- invokes processing and
- pushes result data from the dsp to the next element

This will basically work. The drawback is that if you have two dsp based
elemnts one after the other, you could avoid copying the result out of the
dsp memory, but this needs some work on gstreamer. Maybe subclassing
GstBuffer or some additional fields on caps.
