This is not as straight forward as it initially sounds, see:

- [Using gstreamer-full in a Rust project](https://discourse.gstreamer.org/t/using-gstreamer-full-in-a-rust-project/3666)
- [Draft: meson: Full static linking of gstreamer-full (!7624) · Merge requests · GStreamer / gstreamer · GitLab](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/merge_requests/7624)

This is not a limitation of the go bindings, but of gstreamer itself. We are facing the same challenges as the Rust bindings.

Regardless of how this will be implemented in the future, I do think that you will need to compile your own version of gstreamer. Currently gstreamer does not support it though.
