I think this is a good idea.
Although Martin did a great job on mpeglib, the design of
GStreamer is the best (IMHO). 
The GStreamer team will remove the dependencies on GTK+ when 
GObject is usable in glib (glib 2.0).
The only disadvantage I see are many gcc specific macros, which makes
the use of other compilers than gcc complicate. 
But maybe this doesn't matter.

Regards,
Georg
