27 * @short_description: Get a pipeline from a text pipeline description
29 * These function allow to create a pipeline based on the syntax used in the
30 * gst-launch utility (see man-page for syntax documentation).
32 * Please note that these functions take several measures to create
33 * somewhat dynamic pipelines. Due to that such pipelines are not always
34 * reusable (set the state to NULL and back to PLAYING).
