The problem is that the UDP broadcast stream isn't getting forwarded  
to the virtual machine I'm doing my development on.

Using playbin2 and setting it's uri property to udp://0.0.0.0:9001 is  
all that is required to cause playbin2 to properly create the needed  
source element.

I installed the GStreamer SDK on Windows and was able to view the  
stream using the following:

gst-launch-0.10.exe playbin2 uri=udp://0.0.0.0:9001/

and the video was displayed properly.

Thanks all for the help,
Jim
