I had sort of assumed that. Plugins are loaded dynamically and so a compile-
time language binding can only have the "meta-API" – which is why some
gstreamermm stuff is deprecated I suspect.

Very much the MPEG-TS stuff.

In C++ with gstreamermm, it seems impossible to use MPEG-TS at all currently
because a Glib::RegPtr<Gst::Message> in the bus callback method cannot deliver
the contained pointer to pass to the C functions.

The gstreamermm package on Debian Sid appears to have various of the enums
from the plugin sources available, which makes it seem as though someone has
started trying to do something, but not really got far enough for usability.

I did try cloning and building the gstreamermm Git repository from GitHub, but
it seems there is stuff you need to have in place to get past Stage 0, and it
is Autotools not Meson, and there are very few instructions.
