in the 0.10.x stable series of the
GStreamer Base Plug-ins.
The 0.10.x series is a stable series targeted at end users.
It is not API or ABI compatible with the stable 0.8.x series.
It is, however, parallel installable with the 0.8.x series.
This module contains a set of reference plugins, base classes for other
plugins, and helper libraries.
This module is kept up-to-date together with the core developments. Element
writers should look at the elements in this module as a reference for
their development.
This module contains elements for, among others:
device plugins: x(v)imagesink, alsa, v4lsrc, cdparanoia
containers: ogg
codecs: vorbis, theora
text: textoverlay, subparse

sources: audiotestsrc, videotestsrc, gnomevfssrc
network: tcp
typefind
2010-03-06 00:09:29 +00:00

video processing: ffmpegcolorspace
2010-04-28 01:16:58 +00:00

Other modules containing plug-ins are:

distributors
gst-plugins-bad

rigorous quality testing we expect
