/**
 * GStreamer is extensible, so #GstElement instances can be loaded at runtime.
 * A plugin system can provide one or more of the basic
 * <application>GStreamer</application> #GstPluginFeature subclasses.
 * 
 * A plugin should export a symbol <symbol>gst_plugin_desc</symbol> that is a
 * struct of type #GstPluginDesc.
 * the plugin loader will check the version of the core library the plugin was
 * linked against and will create a new #GstPlugin. It will then call the
 * #GstPluginInitFunc function that was provided in the
 * <symbol>gst_plugin_desc</symbol>.
 * 
 * Once you have a handle to a #GstPlugin (e.g. from the #GstRegistry), you
 * can add any object that subclasses #GstPluginFeature.
 * 
 * Usually plugins are always automatically loaded so you don't need to call
 * gst_plugin_load() explicitly to bring it into memory. There are options to
 * statically link plugins to an app or even use GStreamer without a plugin
 * repository in which case gst_plugin_load() can be needed to bring the plugin
 * into memory.
