Overview
Introduction
(creating multimedia apps)
(pipeline/plugin based)
Motivation
(multitude of duplicate code)
(mostly focused on one goal)
(reinvent plugin mechanisms)
(network transparency?)
(catch up with Windows(tm) world)
Goals
(clean and powerfull)
(building graphs)
(building plugins)
(object oriented)
(using GTK+ object model)
(extensible)
(alow binary only plugins)
(alow high performance)
(HW acceleration)
(efficient memory use)
(kernel buffers etc..)
Basic concepts
elements
(what is it)
(types) sink, src, filter
(have pads)
connecting elements
bin
(can contain elements)
pipeline (a complete graph)
thread (theaded operation)
buffers
(pass between elements)
(contains data)
(can cary metadata)
(use refcounting)
element states
(null)
(ready)
(paused)
(playing)
Building apps
helloworld
(fdsrc->mp3decoder->audiosink)
(step by step explanation)
