Elements (and other things) from plugins are supposed to be used with
the generic GObject and GStreamer API. That is, via their signals,
properties, etc.

There are wrapper objects for some of them in gstreamer-sharp and
gstreamermm, but that's not an ideal solution either as you will have
lots of API that might just not work because you're on the wrong
platform or just don't have a plugin installed.
The ones in gstreamer-sharp are autogenerated btw, not sure about
gstreamermm. They are autogenerated from some metadata file generated
from the GStreamer registry.
