IIRC the reason they are not there is because the transform API isn't
suited to parsers (GValueTransform does not return anything -- the
system assumes that if a transformer was found, that a transform could
take place). You probably want a different API (serialize/deserialize or
something -- see gstreamer's gstvalue [1] for one such implementation).
