The uninstall env is huge and have some impact on startup performance. Perhaps
you want to look at the new libgstreamer-full.so feature that just got merged
into gst-build ? This let you build a self contained GStreamer, all plugins
included that you can initialize and use in your app as it GStreamer was just 1
library. It make use of the meson build system to allow you fine grain control
on what is included. You can even make it statically linked into your
application if you'd prefer a single file kind of app.
