Without any options, I get a Gnome pop-up that says:

"Failed to create the player: Couldn't initialize scheduler.  Did you
run gst-register?"

The standard ones with the Gnome install.  gst-inspect tells me that
there are 68 plugins, 466 features.  The list is rather long -- are
there a few in which you are interested?

I didn't specify one (where is this set?).  gst-inspect shows the
following sinks:
