gst_play_get_sink_element has been improved :

Original commit message from CVS:
gst_play_get_sink_element has been improved :
- Recursively searches in bins
- Able to find sink_element of a specified GstPlaySinkType (audio,video,any)

This now allow us to send very complex bins to GstPlay for audio/video sink without breaking length querying, eos signaling, etc..
