The original registry was in xml format. A binary registry format was
added in 2007† and made the default in 2008‡. From that second commit
message it looks like you can still choose at "configure" time to use
the xml registry instead (this would require that you build the
GStreamer packages from source).

I wouldn't bother though, I'd wait for the updated tab-completion script
I'm working on to land. :-)
