encoder for example doing:

  gst-inspect-1.0 --type Encoder/Audio

Since V1:

:%s/--type/--types/ in commit message

Or maybe it should be --klass then ? (Not that I have a strong opinion on this, just throwing it out there :))

Well 'klass' would not make sense for **most** people, and also we call it types in, for example 

>  GList * gst_element_factory_list_get_elements (GstElementFactoryListType type, GstRank minrank);

Or all the API apart from what we set as metadata, but the concept is the same.
