That's not right, it should be /opt/gstreamer/lib/gstreamer-1.0/ as you
had before.

You probably want to set GST_PLUGIN_SYSTEM_PATH, but also it shouldn't
really be needed if your app picks up the right libgstreamer-1.0.so
anyway, since it will default to looking in the prefix it was installed
into anyway.

This isn't really a cause for concern, since this is a library not a
plugin (just an effect of you setting the plugin path to the library
dir).
