Welcome to the group of people using GStreamer from D. I suspect I may
be the only other member of that club.

Ah the word Windows. I use only Debian Sid and Fedora Rawhide, with
occasional descent into some ancient version of MacOS (Apple refuse to
upgrade older laptops, some agist excuse ;-) so I can't help with
anything platform specific relating to Windows. 

Both Debian Sid and Fedora Rawhide have packages for GStreamer and LDC
so installation is very easy.

DMD is not packaged for Debian, but there is D-Apt so it is available,
or Fedora, so LDC tends to be the "go to" D compiler. I haven't tried
the example codes, but My GStreamer programs in D work nicely.

I am just starting to rewrite Me TV from C++14 to D.
