Particlaly based on your work I've written gst2dot.py available at :

        http://cortex.unice.fr/~jerome/gst2dot/
        
This Python program converts GStreamer pipelines into Graphviz dot        
files, suitable to create a graphical representation of any running
pipeline.

The dot and pdf example you'll find above was automatically 
generated from a running Boxtream (http://boxtream.unice.fr) 
scenario. But gst2dot.py itself contains a much simpler pipeline 
example. 

Any comment is more than welcome.
