clutter-gst currently only has an actor for video playback, and this actor cannot be used for displaying camera streams.

I have worked on a new actor that can be used to display/manipulate camera streams.

The following features are supported by the new API:

- getting list of supported camera devices (using udev)
- get/set active camera device
- get/set color balance (saturation,hue,brightness,contrast)
- get/set gamma correction
- get/set custom filter for image processing
- get supported resolutions per device
- get/set capture resolution per device
- set photo/video profile (the profile to use to save data, using ogg/theora for video and jpeg for photos as default values)
- take picture (save to file or as pixbuf)
- record video to file
- methods to retrieve camerabin and pipeline elements for directly usage with GStreamer
... and a few other convenience APIS.

It also includes a new example demonstrating how to use the new API.
