The fundamental component of GStreamer is the "element", an object that
|
|
sources and/or sinks data. Elements are connected to each other via
|
|
"pads", which are extremely light-weight generic connections. Elements
|
|
can be contained inside "bins", which themselves are elements.
|
|
|
|
A pipeline consists of any number of elements, connected to each other one
|
|
after another. A source would connect to one end of a decoder, which in
|
|
turn would be connected (on the other end) to a sink, such as a sound
|
|
card. Other elements can be located anywhere in the pipeline, including
|
|
tees and transcoders.
