Getting the element factory name.

[Sameer Naik]

I just checked up on how gst_bin_get_by_name () call works.

children = gst_bin_iterate_recurse (bin);
result = gst_iterator_find_custom (children, (GCompareFunc)
compare_name, (gpointer) name);
gst_iterator_free (children);

And in the compare_name function
eq = strcmp (GST_ELEMENT_NAME (element), name);

It seems GST_ELEMENT_NAME () is how it is supposed to be done. Looks
like something is wrong in my code.

Thanks
