Thanks for this - the thing is, it's not for me, it's for my users 
(users of my application). So I'd like to avoid distributing, or telling 
them to install, a whole other library just for this.

I'll take a look at it, but if anyone knows how to do it purely within 
GStreamer then I'd be very grateful.

Incidentally the reason I'd like to be able to run on 1.2.4 is because 
there is still quite a lot of 1.2.4 around, e.g. in the current LTS 
version of Ubuntu (14.04).
