$ gst-xmlinspect-0.10 ffmpeg | head -2
<?xml version="1.0"?>
Plugin Details:

suggestion by MikeS:
12:03 < MikeS> the bug appears to be that there's no xml output for plugins (only for elements); gst-xmlinspect just outputs the text output (as for gst-inspect) when invoked on a plugin
12:03 < MikeS> The likely fix for this is to just not support xmlinspect of plugins at all
12:04 < zaheerm> i agree with mikes


$ dpkg -l gstreamer0.10-tools gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg | grep ^.i

We still ship gst-xmlinspect? :)

Fixed in CVS:

        * tools/gst-xmlinspect.c: (print_element_info), (main):
          De-cruft a bit. If no argument is specified, print all elements in
          XML syntax rather than a freestyle list of elements like gst-inspect.
          Also, don't print XML header chunk unless we actually have something
          to print (ie. don't print it before an error message); print error
          message to stderr not stdout. Remove support for printing plugin
          info (it would just output something freestyle along the lines of
          gst-inspect so far), which fixes #514507. Also add license header.
