I just realized that this won't work. I don't just need Gst to be an
alias for Media::GStreamer, I need Gst::* to be an alias for
Media::GStreamer::*. That also seems to rule out the aliased.pm
approach.

That would work, but seems way too hacky to me. It would also deviate
quite a bit from the C API, which I want to avoid. Thanks for the
suggestion nonetheless, though.
