gst-inspect-1.0 is a tool that prints out information on
available GStreamer plugins, information about a particular plugin,
or information about a particular element. When executed with no PLUGIN or
ELEMENT argument, gst-inspect-1.0 will print a list of all plugins
and elements together with a summary. When executed with a PLUGIN or ELEMENT
