/**
* SECTION:element-encodebin
* @title: encodebin
*
* EncodeBin provides a bin for encoding/muxing various streams according to
* a specified #GstEncodingProfile.
*
* Based on the profile that was set (via the #GstEncodeBaseBin:profile property),
* EncodeBin will internally select and configure the required elements
* (encoders, muxers, but also audio and video converters) so that you can
* provide it raw or pre-encoded streams of data in input and have your
* encoded/muxed/converted stream in output.
*
* ## Features
*
* * Automatic encoder and muxer selection based on elements available on the
* system.
*
* * Conversion of raw audio/video streams (scaling, framerate conversion,
* colorspace conversion, samplerate conversion) to conform to the profile
* output format.
*
* * Variable number of streams. If the presence property for a stream encoding
* profile is 0, you can request any number of sink pads for it via the
* standard request pad gstreamer API or the #GstEncodeBaseBin::request-pad action
* signal.
*
* * Avoid reencoding (passthrough). If the input stream is already encoded and is
* compatible with what the #GstEncodingProfile expects, then the stream won't
* be re-encoded but just passed through downstream to the muxer or the output.
*
* * Mix pre-encoded and raw streams as input. In addition to the passthrough
* feature above, you can feed both raw audio/video *AND* already-encoded data
* to a pad. #GstEncodeBaseBin will take care of passing through the compatible
* segments and re-encoding the segments of media that need encoding.
*
* * Standard behaviour is to use a #GstEncodingContainerProfile to have both
* encoding and muxing performed. But you can also provide a single stream
* profile (like #GstEncodingAudioProfile) to only have the encoding done and
* handle the encoded output yourself.
*
* * Audio imperfection corrections. Incoming audio streams can have non perfect
* timestamps (jitter), like the streams coming from ASF files. #GstEncodeBaseBin
* will automatically fix those imperfections for you. See
* #GstEncodeBaseBin:audio-jitter-tolerance for more details.
*
* * Variable or Constant video framerate. If your #GstEncodingVideoProfile has
* the variableframerate property deactivated (default), then the incoming
* raw video stream will be retimestampped in order to produce a constant
* framerate.
*
* * Cross-boundary re-encoding. When feeding compatible pre-encoded streams that
* fall on segment boundaries, and for supported formats (right now only H263),
* the GOP will be decoded/reencoded when needed to produce an encoded output
* that fits exactly within the request GstSegment.
*
* * Missing plugin support. If a #GstElement is missing to encode/mux to the
* request profile formats, a missing-plugin #GstMessage will be posted on the
* #GstBus, allowing systems that support the missing-plugin system to offer the
* user a way to install the missing element.
