# Introduction
|
|
|
|
GStreamer is an extremely powerful and versatile framework for creating
|
|
streaming media applications. Many of the virtues of the GStreamer
|
|
framework come from its modularity: GStreamer can seamlessly incorporate
|
|
new plugin modules. But because modularity and power often come at a
|
|
cost of greater complexity (consider, for example,
|
|
[CORBA](http://www.omg.org/)), writing new plugins is not always easy.
|
|
|
|
This guide is intended to help you understand the GStreamer framework
|
|
so you can develop new plugins to extend the existing
|
|
functionality. The guide addresses most issues by following the
|
|
development of an example plugin - an audio filter plugin - written in
|
|
C. However, the later parts of the guide also present some issues
|
|
involved in writing other types of plugins, and the end of the guide
|
|
describes some of the Python bindings for GStreamer.
