Sounds like a good idea to me.

We'd probably add them to gst-plugins-bad first though, since that's
where new plugins are usually added before they get moved to -good or
elsewhere. And probably only to git master (ie. for the upcoming
0.11/1.0 API version).

Would the idea be that you'd turn libsbc from noinst into a proper
library, or would we just move that over into the plugin as well?
