GStreamer will not recognize my plugin

[William Johnston]

Well OK. This is lame, but for the record the problem was that I was 
putting it in the wrong directory. While there are a lot of libgst*.so 
files in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu the place it actually needed to be 
was in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0. Yeah, that cost me a 
day. LOL
