[Sugar-devel] how to use custom gstreamer elements bundled in activities?

[Erik Blankinship]

Some more research suggests I need to specify a GST_PLUGIN_PATH for my
activity.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2120444/gstreamer-plugin-search-path

I am having a hard time figuring out how to do this in pygst.  The bindings
are great, but sometimes obscure.  Any pygst experts out there?

Thanks,
Erik
