Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

This is really weird!

I don't think the plugin_init() function should be called at that
point in time. I'd say there's something wrong with the way the
GStreamer plug-ins were compiled. I think you should probably ask the
gst-devel mailing list instead, because this is not exactly specific
to gst-openmax.

Cheers.
