In <xref linkend="part-build-app"/> we will move on to the

examples. Since <application>GStreamer</application> uses <ulink

We will first describe the basics of

<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>.
