/**
 * SECTION:gst
 * @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 discreet
 * (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 <application>GStreamer</application> 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.
 *
 * <example>
 * <title>Initializing the gstreamer library</title>
 * <programlisting language="c">
 * int
 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
 * {
 *   // initialize the GStreamer library
 *   gst_init (&amp;argc, &amp;argv);
 *   ...
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * 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 GOption to initialize your own parameters as shown in
 * the next code fragment:
 * <example>
 * <title>Initializing own parameters when initializing gstreamer</title>
 * <programlisting>
 * static gboolean stats = FALSE;
 * ...
 * int
 * main (int argc, char *argv[])
 * {
 *  GOptionEntry options[] = {
 *   {"tags", 't', 0, G_OPTION_ARG_NONE, &amp;tags,
 *       N_("Output tags (also known as metadata)"), NULL},
 *   {NULL}
 *  };
 *  // must initialise the threading system before using any other GLib funtion
 *  if (!g_thread_supported ())
 *    g_thread_init (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, &amp;argc, &amp;argv, &amp;err)) {
 *    g_print ("Error initializing: &percnt;s\n", GST_STR_NULL (err->message));
 *    exit (1);
 *  }
 *  g_option_context_free (ctx);
 * ...
 * }
 * </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * 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 <application>GStreamer</application>. It is mostly used in unit tests 
 * to check for leaks.
