Original commit message from CVS: * new parser that uses flex and bison - doesn't do dynamic pipelines yet... * added GErrors to the gst_parse_launch[v] api * added --gst-mask-help command line option * fixed -o option for gst-launch * GstElement api change: - gst_element_get_pad - gst_element_get_request_pad, gst_element_get_static_pad - gst_element_get_compatible_pad - gst_element_get_compatible_static_pad, gst_element_get_compatible_request_pad - gst_element_[dis]connect -> gst_element_[dis]connect_pads - gst_element_[dis]connect_elements -> gst_element_[dis]connect * manual update * example, tool, and doc updates for the api changes - no more plugin docs in the core docs, plugins require a more extensive doc system

<para>

<xref linkend="overview"/> gives you an overview of <application>GStreamer</application>

design goals. <xref linkend="basic-concepts"/> rapidly covers the basics of
|
|
<application>GStreamer</application> programming. In <xref linkend="build-app"/> we will move
|
|
on to the examples. Since <application>GStreamer</application> uses GLib 2.0, the reader is
|
|
assumed to understand the basics of the GObject object model. For a gentle introduction to
|
|
this system, you may wish to read the <emphasis>GTK+ Tutorial</emphasis> or Eric Harlow's
|
|
book <emphasis>Developing Linux Applications with GTK+ and GDK</emphasis>.

We will first describe the basics of the <application>GStreamer</application> programming by
|
|
introducing the different objects needed to create a media pipeline.

We will use a visual representation of these objects so that we can

visualize the more complex pipelines you will learn to build later on.

In this part we will cover the more advanced features of <application>GStreamer</application>.
|

With the basics you learned in the prevous part you should be

able to create a 'simple' pipeline. If you want more control over
|
|
the media types and the pipeline you should use the more
|
|
low-level features of <application>GStreamer</application>.
