This is quite a generic part of the namespace you're planning on taking
over here ('gstd' in the GStreamer domain).

Any reason not to use e.g. /net/sourceforge/harrier/gstd
or /com/ridgerun/harrier/gstd or somesuch?

As I see it, what you're exposing is basically an API of some sort, and
just like we wouldn't be keen on seeing third party libraries expose API
in the GStreamer namespace (not to mention use our domain as origin of
some sort), I don't think we'd be keen on this for a dbus-based
interface either.

But maybe that's just me.
