  22     <para>
  23 GStreamer is a streaming media framework.
  24 It uses graphs of elements which operate on data.
  25 The functionality to process media is provided by plug-ins which provide
  26 features like elements, typefinding, and so on.
  27 This allows new functionality to be added simply by installing new plug-ins.
  28     </para>

  30     <para>
  31 GStreamer is cross-platform and works on most UNIX-like platforms as well as
  32 Windows.  It is released under the GNU Library General Public License
  33 (GNU LGPL).
