As we have seen in <xref linkend="chapter-elements"/>, the pads are
the element's interface to the outside world. Data streams from one
element's source pad to another element's sink pad. The specific
type of media that the element can handle will be exposed by the
pad's capabilities. We will talk more on capabilities later in this
chapter (see <xref linkend="section-caps"/>).

<title>Pads</title>
<para>
A pad type is defined by two properties: its direction and its
availability. As we've mentioned before, &GStreamer; defines two
pad directions: source pads and sink pads. This terminology is
defined from the view of within the element: elements receive data
on their sink pads and generate data on their source pads.
Schematically, sink pads are drawn on the left side of an element,
whereas source pads are drawn on the right side of an element. In
such graphs, data flows from left to right.
<footnote>
<para>
In reality, there is no objection to data flowing from a
source pad to the sink pad of an element upstream (to the
left of this element in drawings). Data will, however, always
flow from a source pad of one element to the sink pad of
another.
</para>
</footnote>
</para>
<para>
Pad directions are very simple compared to pad availability. A pad
can have any of three availabilities: always, sometimes and on
request. The meaning of those three types is exactly as it says:
always pads always exist, sometimes pad exist only in certain
cases (and can disappear randomly), and on-request pads appear
only if explicitely requested by applications.

created. This can happen, for example, with an Ogg demuxer element.
The element will read the Ogg stream and create dynamic pads for
each contained elementary stream (vorbis, theora) when it detects
such a stream in the Ogg stream. Likewise, it will delete the pad
when the stream ends. This principle is very useful for demuxer
elements, for example.

Running <application>gst-inspect oggdemux</application> will show
that the element has only one pad: a sink pad called 'sink'. The
other pads are <quote>dormant</quote>. You can see this in the pad
template because there is an <quote>Exists: Sometimes</quote>
property. Depending on the type of Ogg file you play, the pads will
be created. We will see that this is very important when you are
going to create dynamic pipelines. You can attach a signal handler
to an element to inform you when the element has created a new pad
from one of its <quote>sometimes</quote> pad templates. The
following piece of code is an example of how to do this:

for multiplexers, aggregators and tee elements. Aggregators are
elements that merge the content of several input streams together
into one output stream. Tee elements are the reverse: they are
elements that have one input stream and copy this stream to each
of their output pads, which are created on request. Whenever an
application needs another copy of the stream, it can simply request
a new output pad from the tee element.

The <function>gst_element_get_request_pad ()</function> method
can be used to get a pad from the element based on the name of
the pad template. It is also possible to request a pad that is
compatible with another pad template. This is very useful if
you want to link an element to a multiplexer element and you
need to request a pad that is compatible. The method
<function>gst_element_get_compatible_pad ()</function> can be
used to request a compatible pad, as shown in the next example.
It will request a compatible pad from an Ogg multiplexer from
any input.

Capabilities are attached to pad templates and to pads. For pad
templates, it will describe the types of media that may stream
over a pad created from this template. For pads, it can either
be a list of possible caps (usually a copy of the pad template's
capabilities), in which case the pad is not yet negotiated, or it
is the type of media that currently streams over this pad, in
which case the pad has been negotiated already.

As an example, below is a dump of the capabilities of the
<quote>vorbisdec</quote> element, which you will get by running
<command>gst-inspect vorbisdec</command>. You will see two pads:
a source and a sink pad. Both of these pads are always available,
and both have capabilities attached to them. The sink pad will
accept vorbis-encoded audio data, with the mime-type
<quote>audio/x-vorbis</quote>. The source pad will be used
to send raw (decoded) audio samples to the next element, with
a raw audio mime-type (in this case,
<quote>audio/x-raw-int</quote>) The source pad will also

A list value (<classname>GST_TYPE_LIST</classname>): the
property can take any value from a list of basic values
given in this list.
</para>
<para>
Example: caps that express that either
a sample rate of 44100 Hz and a sample rate of 48000 Hz
is supported would use a list of integer values, with
one value being 44100 and one value being 48000.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
An array value (<classname>GST_TYPE_ARRAY</classname>): the
property is an array of values. Each value in the array is a
full value on its own, too. All values in the array should be
of the same elementary type. This means that an array can
contain any combination of integers, lists of integers, integer
ranges together, and the same for floats or strings, but it can
not contain both floats and ints at the same time.
</para>
<para>
Example: for audio where there are more than two channels involved
the channel layout needs to be specified (for one and two channel
audio the channel layout is implicit unless stated otherwise in the
caps). So the channel layout would be an array of integer enum
values where each enum value represents a loudspeaker position.
Unlike a <classname>GST_TYPE_LIST</classname>, the values in an
array will be interpreted as a whole.

Filtering: an application can use capabilities to limit the
possible media types that can stream between two pads to a
specific subset of their supported stream types. An application
can, for example, use <quote>filtered caps</quote> to set a
specific (fixed or non-fixed) video size that should stream
between two pads. You will see an example of filtered caps
later in this manual, in <xref linkend="section-data-spoof"/>.
You can do caps filtering by inserting a capsfilter element into
your pipeline and setting its <quote>caps</quote> property. Caps
filters are often placed after converter elements like audioconvert,
audioresample, ffmpegcolorspace or videoscale to force those
converters to convert data to a specific output format at a
certain point in a stream.

<title>Using capabilities for metadata</title>
<para>
A pad can have a set (i.e. one or more) of capabilities attached
to it. Capabilities (<classname>GstCaps</classname>) are represented
as an array of one or more <classname>GstStructure</classname>s, and
each <classname>GstStructure</classname> is an array of fields where
each field consists of a field name string (e.g. "width") and a
typed value (e.g. <classname>G_TYPE_INT</classname> or
<classname>GST_TYPE_INT_RANGE</classname>).
</para>
<para>
Note that there is a distinct difference between the
<emphasis>possible</emphasis> capabilities of a pad (ie. usually what
you find as caps of pad templates as they are shown in gst-inspect),
the <emphasis>allowed</emphasis> caps of a pad (can be the same as
the pad's template caps or a subset of them, depending on the possible
caps of the peer pad) and lastly <emphasis>negotiated</emphasis> caps
(these describe the exact format of a stream or buffer and contain
exactly one structure and have no variable bits like ranges or lists,
ie. they are fixed caps).

You can get values of properties in a set of capabilities

While capabilities are mainly used inside a plugin to describe the
media type of the pads, the application programmer often also has
to have basic understanding of capabilities in order to interface
with the plugins, especially when using filtered caps. When you're
using filtered caps or fixation, you're limiting the allowed types of

media that can stream between two pads to a subset of their supported
media types. You do this using a <classname>capsfilter</classname>
element in your pipeline. In order to do this, you also need to
create your own <classname>GstCaps</classname>. The easiest way to
do this is by using the convenience function

This will force the data flow between those two elements to
a certain video format, width, height and framerate (or the linking
will fail if that cannot be achieved in the context of the elments
involved). Keep in mind that when you use <function>
gst_element_link_filtered ()</function> it will automatically create
a <classname>capsfilter</classname> element for you and insert it into
your bin or pipeline between the two elements you want to connect (this
is important if you ever want to disconnect those elements).

A ghost pad is a pad from some element in the bin that can be
accessed directly from the bin as well. Compare it to a symbolic
link in UNIX filesystems. Using ghost pads on bins, the bin also
has a pad and can transparently be used as an element in other
parts of your code.

Original commit message from CVS: patch by: Luc Pionchon <luc.pionchon@nokia.com> * docs/manual/advanced-autoplugging.xml: * docs/manual/advanced-threads.xml: * docs/manual/basics-bins.xml: * docs/manual/basics-elements.xml: * docs/manual/basics-helloworld.xml: * docs/manual/basics-pads.xml: Add scale factor for pdf output. * docs/manual/intro-basics.xml: Switched sections "pads" and "bins" and added a pipeline diagram. * docs/manual/intro-gstreamer.xml: Added more info on gstreamer. * docs/manual/intro-motivation.xml: Commented out the whole section "current problem", which sounds historical and somehow osolete; it could be turned in a positive way and reused to improve the design principles. * docs/manual/intro-preface.xml: - Update URLs to library.gnome.org. - Do not mention GTK+ in preliminary reading (irrelevant). - Mention Plugin Writer's Manual and further reading only in the previous section. - Added a list of most relevant GObject/glib topics. * docs/manual/Makefile.am: * docs/manual/bin-element-ghost.fig: * docs/manual/bin-element-ghost.png: * docs/manual/bin-element-noghost.fig: * docs/manual/bin-element-noghost.png: * docs/manual/bin-element.fig: * docs/manual/bin-element.png: * docs/manual/filter-element-multi.fig: * docs/manual/filter-element-multi.png: * docs/manual/filter-element.fig: * docs/manual/filter-element.png: * docs/manual/gstreamer-overview.png: * docs/manual/hello-world.fig: * docs/manual/hello-world.png: * docs/manual/linked-elements.fig: * docs/manual/linked-elements.png: * docs/manual/mime-world.fig: * docs/manual/mime-world.png: * docs/manual/queue.fig: * docs/manual/queue.png: * docs/manual/simple-player.png: * docs/manual/sink-element.fig: * docs/manual/sink-element.png: * docs/manual/src-element.fig: * docs/manual/src-element.png: * docs/manual/diagrams-general.svg: * docs/manual/diagrams-pipelines.svg: Removed .fig, added .png counterpart.

<xref linkend="section-bin-ghost-img"/> is a representation of a
ghost pad. The sink pad of element one is now also a pad of the bin.
Because ghost pads look and work like any other pads, they can be added
to any type of elements, not just to a <classname>GstBin</classname>,
just like ordinary pads.

In the above example, the bin now also has a pad: the pad called
<quote>sink</quote> of the given element. The bin can, from here
on, be used as a substitute for the sink element. You could, for
example, link another element to the bin.
