A bin is a container element. You can add elements to a bin. Since a
bin is an element itself, a bin can be handled in the same way as any
other element. Therefore, the whole previous chapter (<xref
linkend="chapter-elements"/>) applies to bins as well.

<title>What are bins</title>
<para>
Bins allow you to combine a group of linked elements into one
logical element. You do not deal with the individual elements
anymore but with just one element, the bin. We will see that
this is extremely powerful when you are going to construct
complex pipelines since it allows you to break up the pipeline
in smaller chunks.
</para>
<para>
The bin will also manage the elements contained in it. It will
perform state changes on the elements as well as collect and
forward bus messages.

bin, you can use <function>gst_bin_add ()</function> and
<function>gst_bin_remove ()</function>. Note that the bin that you
add an element to will take ownership of that element. If you
destroy the bin, the element will be dereferenced with it. If you
remove an element from a bin, it will be dereferenced automatically.

There are various functions to lookup elements in a bin. The most
commonly used are <function>gst_bin_get_by_name ()</function> and
<function>gst_bin_get_by_interface ()</function>. You can also
iterate over all elements that a bin contains using the function
<function>gst_bin_iterate_elements ()</function>. See the API references
of <ulink type="http"

<sect1 id="section-bin-state-change-handling">
<title>Bins manage states of their children</title>
<para>
Bins manage the state of all elements contained in them. If you set
a bin (or a pipeline, which is a special top-level type of bin) to
a certain target state using <function>gst_element_set_state ()</function>,
it will make sure all elements contained within it will also be set
to this state. This means it's usually only necessary to set the state
of the top-level pipeline to start up the pipeline or shut it down.
</para>
<para>
Note, however, that if elements are added to a bin or pipeline that's
already running, , e.g. from within a "pad-added" or "new-decoded-pad"
signal callback, its state will not automatically be brought in line with
the current state or target state of the bin or pipeline it was added to.
Instead, you have to need to set it to the desired target state yourself
using <function>gst_element_set_state ()</function> or
<function>gst_element_sync_state_with_parent ()</function> when adding
elements to an already-running pipeline.
