> By now, we have looked at pretty much any feature that can be embedded
into a <SPAN
CLASS="application"
>GStreamer</SPAN
> element. However, we have limited ourselves to the
simple model of a filter element. In this chapter, we will look at the
specific difficulties and things to keep in mind when writing specific
types of elements. We will discuss output elements (sinks), input
elements (sources), 1-to-N elements, N-to-1 elements, N-to-N elements,
autopluggers and managers. Some of these represent elements that don't
actually exist. Rather, they represent a general concept.
