*
* <refsect2>
* <para>
* libgstpbutils is a general utility library for plugins and applications.
* It currently provides the
* following:
* </para>
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* human-readable description strings of codecs, elements, sources, decoders,
* encoders, or sinks from decoder/encoder caps, element names, or protocol
* names.
* </para>
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* support for applications to initiate installation of missing plugins (if
* this is supported by the distribution or operating system used)
* </para>
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* API for GStreamer elements to create missing-plugin messages in order to
* communicate to the application that a certain type of plugin is missing
* (decoder, encoder, URI protocol source, URI protocol sink, named element)
* </para>
* </listitem>
* <listitem>
* <para>
* API for applications to recognise and handle missing-plugin messages
* </para>
* </listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
* <title>Linking to this library</title>
* <para>
* You should obtain the required CFLAGS and LIBS using pkg-config on the
* gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 module. You will then also need to add
* '-lgstpbutils-0.10' manually to your LIBS line.
* </para>
* <title>Library initialisation</title>
* <para>
* Before using any of its functions, applications and plugins must call
* gst_pb_utils_init() to initialise the library.
* </para>
* </refsect2>
