[Gtk-sharp-list] GStreamer bindings

Yes, I've generated a new patch against v0.8.1. Actually, I'm going to
submit that patch to the gstreamer camp as I believe all the things the
parser snagged on were really faults in the gstreamer source.

Yeah, the thought occurred to me too. I guess it really belongs in its
own module and if everyone else thinks that's OK I'd be happy to create
that module.

I've played music using it. I haven't tested video but I expect if there
are any problems they wouldn't be hard to right.

The changes in the gst directory are a bit extensive to post as a patch
but if I can create a new module then that can be examined before
removing the existing code from the gtk-sharp tree.
