[gst-devel] plugin/element names

[mattias]

Thanks,

But can I have the different elements in a plugin/group in different 
shared libs?

Or is 1 shared lib = 1 plugin?

Maybe the gstreamer framework calls the plugin_init function upon a 
dlopen, which will
obviously be an obstacle for my wishes.

Kindest regards,

Mattias
