 Most of these GNOME applications make use of some specific techniques to
 integrate as closely as possible with the GNOME desktop:
 
-  - GNOME applications usually call `gtk_init ()` to parse command-line
-    options and initialize GTK. GStreamer applications would normally
-    call `gst_init ()` to do the same for GStreamer. This would mean
-    that only one of the two can parse command-line options. To work
-    around this issue, GStreamer can provide a GLib `GOptionGroup` which
-    can be passed to `gnome_program_init ()`. The following example
-    requires GTK 2.6 or newer (previous GTK versions do not support
-    command line parsing via GOption yet)
-
-    ``` c
-    #include <gtk/gtk.h>
-    #include <gst/gst.h>
-
-    static gchar **cmd_filenames = NULL;
-
-    static GOptionEntries cmd_options[] = {
-      /* here you can add command line options for your application. Check
-       * the GOption section in the GLib API reference for a more elaborate
-       * example of how to add your own command line options here */
-
-      /* at the end we have a special option that collects all remaining
-       * command line arguments (like filenames) for us. If you don't
-       * need this, you can safely remove it */
-      { G_OPTION_REMAINING, 0, 0, G_OPTION_ARG_FILENAME_ARRAY, &cmd_filenames,
-        "Special option that collects any remaining arguments for us" },
-
-      /* mark the end of the options array with a NULL option */
-      { NULL, }
-    };
-
-    /* this should usually be defined in your config.h */
-    #define VERSION "0.0.1"

-    gint
-    main (gint argc, gchar **argv)
-    {
-      GOptionContext *context;
-      GOptionGroup *gstreamer_group, *gtk_group;
-      GError *err = NULL;
-
-      context = g_option_context_new ("gtk-demo-app");
-
-      /* get command line options from GStreamer and add them to the group */
-      gstreamer_group = gst_init_get_option_group ();
-      g_option_context_add_group (context, gstreamer_group);
-      gtk_group = gtk_get_option_group (TRUE);
-      g_option_context_add_group (context, gtk_group);
-
-      /* add our own options. If you are using gettext for translation of your
-       * strings, use GETTEXT_PACKAGE here instead of NULL */
-      g_option_context_add_main_entries (context, cmd_options, NULL);
-
-      /* now parse the commandline options, note that this already
-       * calls gtk_init() and gst_init() */
-      if (!g_option_context_parse (ctx, &argc, &argv, &err)) {
-        g_print ("Error initializing: %s\n", err->message);
-        g_clear_error (&err);
-        g_option_context_free (ctx);
-        exit (1);
-      }
-      g_option_context_free (ctx);
-
-      /* any filenames we got passed on the command line? parse them! */
-      if (cmd_filenames != NULL) {
-        guint i, num;
-
-        num = g_strv_length (cmd_filenames);
-        for (i = 0; i < num; ++i) {
-          /* do something with the filename ... */
-          g_print ("Adding to play queue: %s\n", cmd_filenames[i]);
-        }

   - GNOME uses Pulseaudio for audio, use the pulsesrc and pulsesink
     elements to have access to all the features.
