26 * autovideosrc is a video src that automatically detects an appropriate
27 * video source to use. It does so by scanning the registry for all elements
28 * that have <quote>Source</quote> and <quote>Video</quote> in the class field
29 * of their element information, and also have a non-zero autoplugging rank.
