/**
* SECTION:element-playbin
*
* <refsect2>
* <para>
* Playbin provides a stand-alone everything-in-one abstraction for an
* audio and/or video player.
* </para>
* <para>
* It can handle both audio and video files and features
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem>
* automatic file type recognition and based on that automatic
* selection and usage of the right audio/video/subtitle demuxers/decoders
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* visualisations for audio files
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* subtitle support for video files
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* stream selection between different audio/subtitles streams
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* meta info (tag) extraction
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* easy access to the last video frame
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* buffering when playing streams over a network
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* volume control
* </listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* </para>
* <title>Usage</title>
* <para>
* A playbin element can be created just like any other element using
* gst_element_factory_make(). The file/URI to play should be set via the "uri"
* property. This must be an absolute URI, relative file paths are not allowed.
* Example URIs are file:///home/joe/movie.avi or http://www.joedoe.com/foo.ogg
* </para>
* <para>
* Playbin is a #GstPipeline. It will notify the application of everything
* that's happening (errors, end of stream, tags found, state changes, etc.)
* by posting messages on its #GstBus. The application needs to watch the
* bus.
* </para>
* <para>
* Playback can be initiated by setting the element to PLAYING state using
* gst_element_set_state(). Note that the state change will take place in
* the background in a separate thread, when the function returns playback
* is probably not happening yet and any errors might not have occured yet.
* Applications using playbin should ideally be written to deal with things
* completely asynchroneous.
* </para>
* <para>
* When playback has finished (an EOS message has been received on the bus)
* or an error has occured (an ERROR message has been received on the bus) or
* the user wants to play a different track, playbin should be set back to
* READY or NULL state, then the "uri" property should be set to the new
* location and then playbin be set to PLAYING state again.
* </para>
* <para>
* Seeking can be done using gst_element_seek_simple() or gst_element_seek()
* on the playbin element. Again, the seek will not be executed
* instantaneously, but will be done in a background thread. When the seek
* call returns the seek will most likely still be in process. An application
* may wait for the seek to finish (or fail) using gst_element_get_state() with
* -1 as the timeout, but this will block the user interface and is not
* recommended at all.
* </para>
* <para>
* Applications may query the current position and duration of the stream
* via gst_element_query_position() and gst_element_query_duration() and
* setting the format passed to GST_FORMAT_TIME. If the query was successful,
* the duration or position will have been returned in units of nanoseconds.
* </para>
* <title>Advanced Usage: specifying the audio and video sink</title>
* <para>
* By default, if no audio sink or video sink has been specified via the
* "audio-sink" or "video-sink" property, playbin will use the autoaudiosink
* and autovideosink elements to find the first-best available output method.
* This should work in most cases, but is not always desirable. Often either
* the user or application might want to specify more explicitly what to use
* for audio and video output.
* </para>
* <para>
* If the application wants more control over how audio or video should be
* output, it may create the audio/video sink elements itself (for example
* using gst_element_factory_make()) and provide them to playbin using the
* "audio-sink" or "video-sink" property.
* </para>
* <para>
* GNOME-based applications, for example, will usually want to create
* gconfaudiosink and gconfvideosink elements and make playbin use those,
* so that output happens to whatever the user has configured in the GNOME
* Multimedia System Selector confinguration dialog.
* </para>
* <para>
* The sink elements do not necessarily need to be ready-made sinks. It is
* possible to create container elements that look like a sink to playbin,
* but in reality contain a number of custom elements linked together. This
* can be achieved by creating a #GstBin and putting elements in there and
* linking them, and then creating a sink #GstGhostPad for the bin and pointing
* it to the sink pad of the first element within the bin. This can be used
* for a number of purposes, for example to force output to a particular
* format or to modify or observe the data before it is output.
* </para>
* <para>
* It is also possible to 'suppress' audio and/or video output by using
* 'fakesink' elements (or capture it from there using the fakesink element's
* "handoff" signal, which, nota bene, is fired from the streaming thread!).
* </para>
* <title>Retrieving Tags and Other Meta Data</title>
* <para>
* Most of the common meta data (artist, title, etc.) can be retrieved by
* watching for TAG messages on the pipeline's bus (see above).
* </para>
* <para>
* Other more specific meta information like width/height/framerate of video
* streams or samplerate/number of channels of audio streams can be obtained
* using the "stream-info" property, which will return a GList of stream info
* objects, one for each stream. These are opaque objects that can only be
* accessed via the standard GObject property interface, ie. g_object_get().
* Each stream info object has the following properties:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem>"object" (GstObject) (the decoder source pad usually)</listitem>
* <listitem>"type" (enum) (if this is an audio/video/subtitle stream)</listitem>
* <listitem>"decoder" (string) (name of decoder used to decode this stream)</listitem>
* <listitem>"mute" (boolean) (to mute or unmute this stream)</listitem>
* <listitem>"caps" (GstCaps) (caps of the decoded stream)</listitem>
* <listitem>"language-code" (string) (ISO-639 language code for this stream, mostly used for audio/subtitle streams)</listitem>
* <listitem>"codec" (string) (format this stream was encoded in)</listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* Stream information from the stream-info properties is best queried once
* playbin has changed into PAUSED or PLAYING state (which can be detected
* via a state-changed message on the bus where old_state=READY and
* new_state=PAUSED), since before that the list might not be complete yet or
* not contain all available information (like language-codes).
* </para>
* <title>Embedding the video window in your application</title>
* <para>
* By default, playbin (or rather the video sinks used) will create their own
* window. Applications will usually want to force output to a window of their
* own, however. This can be done using the GstXOverlay interface, which most
* video sinks implement. See the documentation there for more details.
* </para>
* <title>Specifying which CD/DVD device to use</title>
* <para>
* The device to use for CDs/DVDs needs to be set on the source element
* playbin creates before it is opened. The only way to do this at the moment
* is to connect to playbin's "notify::source" signal, which will be emitted
* by playbin when it has created the source element for a particular URI.
* In the signal callback you can check if the source element has a "device"
* property and set it appropriately. In future ways might be added to specify
* the device as part of the URI, but at the time of writing this is not
* possible yet.
* </para>
* <title>Examples</title>
* <para>
* Here is a simple pipeline to play back a video or audio file:
* <programlisting>
* gst-launch -v playbin uri=file:///path/to/somefile.avi
* </programlisting>
* This will play back the given AVI video file, given that the video and
* audio decoders required to decode the content are installed. Since no
* special audio sink or video sink is supplied (not possible via gst-launch),
* playbin will try to find a suitable audio and video sink automatically
* using the autoaudiosink and autovideosink elements.
* </para>
* <para>
* Here is a another pipeline to play track 4 of an audio CD:
* <programlisting>
* gst-launch -v playbin uri=cdda://4
* </programlisting>
* This will play back track 4 on an audio CD in your disc drive (assuming
* the drive is detected automatically by the plugin).
* </para>
* <para>
* Here is a another pipeline to play title 1 of a DVD:
* <programlisting>
* gst-launch -v playbin uri=dvd://1
* </programlisting>
* This will play back title 1 of a DVD in your disc drive (assuming
* the drive is detected automatically by the plugin).
* </para>
