Description Tim-Philipp Müller 2006-12-31 14:01:32 UTC 
We need API so that applications can tell GStreamer to re-read the plugin registry at runtime when new packages have been installed.

This is part of the easy-codec-installation scheme detailed in bug #161922 and the documents linked from there.
