Hello,

I am using the gstreamer-0.10.34. I would like to know how do i get
the name of an element factory.
I create an element, say

GstElement *element;
GstElementFactory *factory;

element = gst_element_factory_make ("queue2", NULL);
factory = gst_element_get_factory (element);

I need to query the factory such that it return "queue2" as its name.

In an earlier release of gstreamer i used to call:
factoryname = GST_ELEMENT_NAME (factory);

And i would get the factoryname as "queue2". But in the 0.10.34
release it returns "elementfactoryXXX", where XXX is a random number.
I am writing a function to return a reference to am element belonging
to a particular factory.

Thanks and Regards
~Sameer
