application programming. Many people will, however, not need so
much control (and as much code), but will prefer to use a standard
playback interface that does most of the difficult internals for
them. In this chapter, we will introduce you into the concept of
autopluggers, playback managing elements, XML-based pipelines and
other such things. Those higher-level interfaces are intended to
simplify <SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GStreamer</SPAN
>-based application programming. They do, however,
also reduce the flexibility. It is up to the application developer
to choose which interface he will want to use.
