/**
 * SECTION:gst
 * @title: GStreamer
 * @short_description: Media library supporting arbitrary formats and filter
 *                     graphs.
 *
 * GStreamer is a framework for constructing graphs of various filters
 * (termed elements here) that will handle streaming media.
 *
 * Any discrete (packetizable) media type is supported, with provisions for
 * automatically determining source type.
 *
 * Formatting/framing information is provided with a powerful negotiation
 * framework.
 *
 * Plugins are heavily used to provide for all elements, allowing one to
 * construct plugins outside of the GST library, even released binary-only if
 * license require (please don't).
 *
 * GStreamer covers a wide range of use cases including: playback, recording,
 * editing, serving streams, voice over ip and video calls.
 *
 * The `GStreamer` library should be initialized with
 * gst_init() before it can be used. You should pass pointers to the main `argc`
 * and `argv` variables so that GStreamer can process its own command line
 * options, as shown in the following example.
 *
 * ## Initializing the gstreamer library
 *
 * ``` C
 * int main (int argc, char *argv[])
 * {
 *   // initialize the GStreamer library
 *   gst_init (&argc, &argv);
 *   ...
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * It's allowed to pass two %NULL pointers to gst_init() in case you don't want
 * to pass the command line args to GStreamer.
 *
 * You can also use #GOptionContext to initialize your own parameters as shown in
 * the next code fragment:
 *
 * ## Initializing own parameters when initializing GStreamer
 *
 * ``` C
 * static gboolean stats = FALSE;
 * ...
 * int
 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
 * {
 *  GOptionEntry options[] = {
 *   {"tags", 't', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &tags,
 *       N_("Output tags (also known as metadata)"), NULL},
 *   {NULL}
 *  };
 *  ctx = g_option_context_new ("[ADDITIONAL ARGUMENTS]");
 *  g_option_context_add_main_entries (ctx, options, GETTEXT_PACKAGE);
 *  g_option_context_add_group (ctx, gst_init_get_option_group ());
 *  if (!g_option_context_parse (ctx, &argc, &argv, &err)) {
 *    g_print ("Error initializing: %s\n", GST_STR_NULL (err->message));
 *    exit (1);
 *  }
 *  g_option_context_free (ctx);
 * ...
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * Use gst_version() to query the library version at runtime or use the
 * GST_VERSION_* macros to find the version at compile time. Optionally
 * gst_version_string() returns a printable string.
 *
 * The gst_deinit() call is used to clean up all internal resources used
 * by GStreamer. It is mostly used in unit tests to check for leaks.
