You are allowed to do that.

However, you need to register them with different names. Here you use
the same name ("TEL_WMA_Parser") for all the plugin features, that won't
work.

Also, you are registering your parser element twice if I'm not mistaken.

So try:

static gboolean
plugin_init (GstPlugin * plugin)
{
  if (!gst_element_register (plugin, "TEL_WMA_Parser", ...)
     return FALSE; 

  if (!gst_type_find_register (plugin, "TEL_WMA_Typefinder", ...)
     return FALSE;

  return TRUE; 
}

or so.
