 * TODO: Edit following paragraph to use gstreamermm classes/methods:
 *
 * A plugin should export a symbol gst_plugin_desc that is a struct of type
 * PluginDesc. the plugin loader will check the version of the core library
 * the plugin was linked against and will create a new Gst::Plugin. It will
 * then call the PluginInitFunc function that was provided in the
 * gst_plugin_desc.
 *
 * Once you have a handle to a Gst::Plugin (e.g. from the RegistryPool), you
 * can add any object that subclasses Gst::PluginFeature.
 *
 * Usually plugins are always automaticlly 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 load() can be needed to bring the plugin
