# Advanced GStreamer concepts
In this part we will cover the more advanced features of GStreamer. With
the basics you learned in the previous part you should be able to create
a *simple* application. However, GStreamer provides much more candy than
just the basics of playing back audio files. In this chapter, you will
learn more of the low-level features and internals of GStreamer.
With the basics you learned in the previous part you should be able to create a
simple application, but GStreamer provides far more than just the mere basic for
multimedia playback. In this part we will cover more advanced GStreamer features
as well as some of its low-level internals.
Some parts of this part will serve mostly as an explanation of how
GStreamer works internally; they are not actually needed for actual
application development. This includes chapters such as the ones
covering scheduling, autoplugging and synchronization. Other chapters,
however, discuss more advanced ways of pipeline-application interaction,
and can turn out to be very useful for certain applications. This
includes the chapters on metadata, querying and events, interfaces,
dynamic parameters and pipeline data manipulation.
