/**

 * the #playbin2 element instead.

 * <title>Usage</title>
 * <para>
 * A playbin element can be created just like any other element using
 * gst_element_factory_make(). The file/URI to play should be set via the #GstPlayBin:uri
 * property. This must be an absolute URI, relative file paths are not allowed.
 * Example URIs are file:///home/joe/movie.avi or http://www.joedoe.com/foo.ogg
 *
 * Playbin is a #GstPipeline. It will notify the application of everything
 * that's happening (errors, end of stream, tags found, state changes, etc.)
 * by posting messages on its #GstBus. The application needs to watch the
 * bus.
 *
 * Playback can be initiated by setting the element to PLAYING state using
 * gst_element_set_state(). Note that the state change will take place in
 * the background in a separate thread, when the function returns playback
 * is probably not happening yet and any errors might not have occured yet.
 * Applications using playbin should ideally be written to deal with things
 * completely asynchroneous.
 *
 * When playback has finished (an EOS message has been received on the bus)
 * or an error has occured (an ERROR message has been received on the bus) or
 * the user wants to play a different track, playbin should be set back to
 * READY or NULL state, then the #GstPlayBin:uri property should be set to the
 * new location and then playbin be set to PLAYING state again.
 *
 * Seeking can be done using gst_element_seek_simple() or gst_element_seek()
 * on the playbin element. Again, the seek will not be executed
 * instantaneously, but will be done in a background thread. When the seek
 * call returns the seek will most likely still be in process. An application
 * may wait for the seek to finish (or fail) using gst_element_get_state() with
 * -1 as the timeout, but this will block the user interface and is not
 * recommended at all.
 *
 * Applications may query the current position and duration of the stream
 * via gst_element_query_position() and gst_element_query_duration() and
 * setting the format passed to GST_FORMAT_TIME. If the query was successful,
 * the duration or position will have been returned in units of nanoseconds.
 * </para>
 * </refsect2>
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Advanced Usage: specifying the audio and video sink</title>
 * <para>
 * By default, if no audio sink or video sink has been specified via the
 * #GstPlayBin:audio-sink or #GstPlayBin:video-sink property, playbin will use
 * the autoaudiosink and autovideosink elements to find the first-best
 * available output method.
 * This should work in most cases, but is not always desirable. Often either
 * the user or application might want to specify more explicitly what to use
 * for audio and video output.
 *
 * If the application wants more control over how audio or video should be
 * output, it may create the audio/video sink elements itself (for example
 * using gst_element_factory_make()) and provide them to playbin using the
 * #GstPlayBin:audio-sink or #GstPlayBin:video-sink property.
 *
 * GNOME-based applications, for example, will usually want to create
 * gconfaudiosink and gconfvideosink elements and make playbin use those,
 * so that output happens to whatever the user has configured in the GNOME
 * Multimedia System Selector confinguration dialog.
 *
 * The sink elements do not necessarily need to be ready-made sinks. It is
 * possible to create container elements that look like a sink to playbin,
 * but in reality contain a number of custom elements linked together. This
 * can be achieved by creating a #GstBin and putting elements in there and
 * linking them, and then creating a sink #GstGhostPad for the bin and pointing
 * it to the sink pad of the first element within the bin. This can be used
 * for a number of purposes, for example to force output to a particular
 * format or to modify or observe the data before it is output.
 *
 * It is also possible to 'suppress' audio and/or video output by using
 * 'fakesink' elements (or capture it from there using the fakesink element's
 * "handoff" signal, which, nota bene, is fired from the streaming thread!).
 * </para>
 * </refsect2>
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Retrieving Tags and Other Meta Data</title>
 * <para>
 * Most of the common meta data (artist, title, etc.) can be retrieved by
 * watching for TAG messages on the pipeline's bus (see above).
 *
 * Other more specific meta information like width/height/framerate of video
 * streams or samplerate/number of channels of audio streams can be obtained
 * using the  #GstPlayBaseBin:stream-info property, which will return a GList of
 * stream info objects, one for each stream. These are opaque objects that can
 * only be accessed via the standard GObject property interface, ie. g_object_get().
 * Each stream info object has the following properties:
 * <itemizedlist>
 * <listitem>"object" (GstObject) (the decoder source pad usually)</listitem>
 * <listitem>"type" (enum) (if this is an audio/video/subtitle stream)</listitem>
 * <listitem>"decoder" (string) (name of decoder used to decode this stream)</listitem>
 * <listitem>"mute" (boolean) (to mute or unmute this stream)</listitem>
 * <listitem>"caps" (GstCaps) (caps of the decoded stream)</listitem>
 * <listitem>"language-code" (string) (ISO-639 language code for this stream, mostly used for audio/subtitle streams)</listitem>
 * <listitem>"codec" (string) (format this stream was encoded in)</listitem>
 * </itemizedlist>
 * Stream information from the #GstPlayBaseBin:stream-info property is best queried once
 * playbin has changed into PAUSED or PLAYING state (which can be detected
 * via a state-changed message on the #GstBus where old_state=READY and
 * new_state=PAUSED), since before that the list might not be complete yet or
 * not contain all available information (like language-codes).
 * </para>
 * </refsect2>
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Buffering</title>
 * Playbin handles buffering automatically for the most part, but applications
 * need to handle parts of the buffering process as well. Whenever playbin is
 * buffering, it will post BUFFERING messages on the bus with a percentage
 * value that shows the progress of the buffering process. Applications need
 * to set playbin to PLAYING or PAUSED state in response to these messages.
 * They may also want to convey the buffering progress to the user in some
 * way. Here is how to extract the percentage information from the message
 * (requires GStreamer >= 0.10.11):
 * |[
 * switch (GST_MESSAGE_TYPE (msg)) {
 *   case GST_MESSAGE_BUFFERING: {
 *     gint percent = 0;
 *     gst_message_parse_buffering (msg, &amp;percent);
 *     g_print ("Buffering (%%u percent done)", percent);
 *     break;
 *   }
 *   ...
 * }
 * ]|
 * Note that applications should keep/set the pipeline in the PAUSED state when
 * a BUFFERING message is received with a buffer percent value < 100 and set
 * the pipeline back to PLAYING state when a BUFFERING message with a value
 * of 100 percent is received (if PLAYING is the desired state, that is).
 * </refsect2>
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Embedding the video window in your application</title>
 * By default, playbin (or rather the video sinks used) will create their own
 * window. Applications will usually want to force output to a window of their
 * own, however. This can be done using the #GstXOverlay interface, which most
 * video sinks implement. See the documentation there for more details.
 * </refsect2>
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Specifying which CD/DVD device to use</title>
 * The device to use for CDs/DVDs needs to be set on the source element
 * playbin creates before it is opened. The only way to do this at the moment
 * is to connect to playbin's "notify::source" signal, which will be emitted
 * by playbin when it has created the source element for a particular URI.
 * In the signal callback you can check if the source element has a "device"
 * property and set it appropriately. In future ways might be added to specify
 * the device as part of the URI, but at the time of writing this is not
 * possible yet.
 * </refsect2>
 * <refsect2>
 * <title>Examples</title>
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v playbin uri=file:///path/to/somefile.avi
 * ]| This will play back the given AVI video file, given that the video and
 * audio decoders required to decode the content are installed. Since no
 * special audio sink or video sink is supplied (not possible via gst-launch),
 * playbin will try to find a suitable audio and video sink automatically
 * using the autoaudiosink and autovideosink elements.
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v playbin uri=cdda://4
 * ]| This will play back track 4 on an audio CD in your disc drive (assuming
 * the drive is detected automatically by the plugin).
 * |[
 * gst-launch -v playbin uri=dvd://1
 * ]| This will play back title 1 of a DVD in your disc drive (assuming
 * the drive is detected automatically by the plugin).
 * </refsect2>
 *
 * Deprecated: use playbin2 instead
