+Face it, the plugins/ directory hierarchy is crap. We want to propose a
+better layout for it now. Some things to consider:
+
+ - Elements have a klass member in the factory that is used to
+   denote the functional type of the element. For example, the
+   mp3 encoder has a klass of Filter/Encoder/Audio
+   
+ - The plugins can be grouped together by the media type they
+   operate on or by the way they work (decoder/encoder)
+   
+In GStreamer all plugins are techically filters, the only way they
+can be considered sources or sinks (input/output) elements is
+by the absence of src/sink pads. At first sight the source/filter/
+sink distinction is quite useless because most of the plugins
+will go into the filters category anyway. 
+
+We don't want to make the hierarchy too deep, yet provide a 
+clean way to ask for a mp3 decoder element..
+
+Anyway this is a rough proposal to fire off the discussions...
