I would opt for another solution. Instead of trying to delay load a
library not designed for that, I would enclose all my GStreamer needs
in a simple (function only) small library. That library would link
directly to GStreamer. Then all I'd have to do is load that simplier
library, with dlopen or delay load (whatever works).
