GStreamer: plugins or elements

[Thomas Vander Stichele <thomas apestaart org>]

Hi,

There's been some back-and-forth-committing of string changes related to
this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321536

On the one hand, it is argued that "element" is more "slangy" than
"plug-in", and thus the word element should not be used.

On the other hand, GStreamer tries to create elements, not plugins, to
do its job.  plugins are a construct that can provide elements, among
other things.

So right now, gnome-media will say that "you're missing the
gconfaudiosrc plugin", while no such plugin exists.

Also, I don't know if plug-in is that less slangy than element.  I'm
sure my mom doesn't know what a plug-in is either.

These are visible strings - could the gnome-i18n team advise on what to
do with this ?

Thanks
Thomas
