/**
 * SECTION:element-autoconvert
 * @title: autoconvert
 *
 * The #autoconvert element has one sink and one source pad. It will look for
 * other elements that also have one sink and one source pad.
 * It will then pick an element that matches the caps on both sides.
 * If the caps change, it may change the selected element if the current one
 * no longer matches the caps.
 *
 * The list of element it will look into can be specified in the
 * #GstAutoConvert:factories property, otherwise it will look at all available
 * elements.
