proposed patch

This patch isn't correct. Though what it does is right, it doesn't fix the
remaining problems. Notably, it still uses many elements that don't (and won't)
exist in 0.9, like spider. 

A better idea would be to replace gst-launch-ext by a trivial wrapper around
gst-launch playbin uri=...

playbin should be able to handle everything neccesary. If it isn't, it should be
fixed so it does.

Whether it's worthwhile having gst-launch-ext at this point is... dubious.

Well the original point of gst-launch-ext was to let people test playing stuff
without spider (in order to ease verification of wether we had bugs in the
autoplugger or not. Keeping gst-launch-ext as a wrapper for playbin would be
rather opposite of what gst-launch-ext was intended for. I think just ditching
gst-launch-ext would be a better idea. playbin should be good enough to not make
it needed.

gst-launch-ext has been removed now, so this is no longer important.
Use "gst-launch playbin uri=file:///path/to/file" as a replacement.
