 * @short_description: Get a pipeline from a text pipeline description

 * These function allow to create a pipeline based on the syntax used in the
 * gst-launch utility (see man-page for syntax documentation).
 *
 * Please note that these functions take serveral meassures to create even
 * somewhat dynamic pipelines. Due to that such pipelines are not always
 * reuseable (set the state to NULL and back to PLAYING).
