gst_init can be called as many times as you like. After the first call,
it's a no-op. Calling gst_deinit will break things though - they're not
symmetrical calls. Once you've called gst_deinit, you can't use
GStreamer at all any more in that process - you can't reinitialise it by
calling gst_init again.
