/**
 * SECTION:gst
 * @short_description: Media library supporting arbitrary formats and filter graphs.
 * @see_also: Check out both <ulink url="http://www.cse.ogi.edu/sysl/">OGI's
 *   pipeline</ulink> and Microsoft's DirectShow for some background.
 *
 * GStreamer is a framework for constructing graphs of various filters
 * (termed elements here) that will handle streaming media.  Any discreet
 * (packetizable) media type is supported, with provisions for automatically
 * determining source type.  Formatting/framing information is provided with
 * a powerful negotiation framework.  Plugins are heavily used to provide for
 * all elements, allowing one to construct plugins outside of the GST
 * library, even released binary-only if license require (please don't).
 * 
 * GStreamer borrows heavily from both the <ulink
 * url="http://www.cse.ogi.edu/sysl/">OGI media pipeline</ulink> and
 * Microsoft's DirectShow, hopefully taking the best of both and leaving the
 * cruft behind.  Its interface is still very fluid and thus can be changed 
 * to increase the sanity/noise ratio.
 *
 * The <application>GStreamer</application> library should be initialized with
 * gst_init() before it can be used. You should pass pointers to the main argc
 * and argv variables so that GStreamer can process its own command line
 * options, as shown in the following example.
 *
 * <example>
 * <title>Initializing the gstreamer library</title>
 * <programlisting language="c">
 * int 
 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
 * {
 *   // initialize the GStreamer library
 *   gst_init (&amp;argc, &amp;argv);
 *   ...
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 * </example>
 * 
 * It's allowed to pass two NULL pointers to gst_init() in case you don't want to
 * pass the command line args to GStreamer.
 *
 * You can also use a popt table to initialize your own parameters as shown in
 * the next code fragment:
 * <example>
 * <title>Initializing own parameters when initializing gstreamer</title>
 * <programlisting>
 * static gboolean stats = FALSE;
 * ...
 *  
 * int 
 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
 * {
 *   struct poptOption options[] = {
 *     { "stats",  's',  POPT_ARG_NONE|POPT_ARGFLAG_STRIP,   &amp;stats,   0,
 *         "Show pad stats", NULL},
 *       POPT_TABLEEND
 *     };
 *   
 *   // initialize the GStreamer library
 *   gst_init_with_popt_table (&amp;argc, &amp;argv, options);
 *   
 *   ...
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * Use gst_version() to query the library version at runtime or use the GST_VERSION_* macros
 * to find the version at compile time.
 *
 * The functions gst_main() and gst_main_quit() enter and exit the main loop.
 * GStreamer doesn't currently require you to use a mainloop but can intergrate
 * with it without problems.
