  57 GstObject:
  58
  59 Base class for all streamer objects (duh), defines some basic stuff like a
  60 pointer to the master pipeline for the object.
  61
  62
  63 GstBin:
  64
  65 Contains a bunch of GstObjects.
  66
  67
  68 GstPipeline:
  69
  70 A bin that can be used raw in an application.  The object that gets
  71 embedded into applications.  Can contain any set of GstObjects.  Nothing
  72 but a convenience object for the moment, will eventually be *the* object
  73 dealt with externally.
  74
  75
  76 GstThread:
  77
  78 A bin that will become a thread if possible when the pipeline is started
  79 up.  Can contain any set of GstObjects except another GstThread.  All
  80 starting points and/or clocked events must be registered with this object,
  81 to be dealt with in the separate thread.
