25 * @short_description: Top-level bin with clocking and bus management
27 * @see_also: #GstElement, #GstBin, #GstClock, #GstBus
29 * A #GstPipeline is a special #GstBin used as the toplevel container for
30 * the filter graph. The #GstPipeline will manage the selection and
31 * distribution of a global #GstClock as well as provide a #GstBus to the
34 * gst_pipeline_new() is used to create a pipeline. when you are done with
35 * the pipeline, use gst_object_unref() to free its resources including all
36 * added #GstElement objects (if not otherwise referenced).
38 * Elements are added and removed from the pipeline using the #GstBin
39 * methods like gst_bin_add() and gst_bin_remove() (see #GstBin).
41 * Before changing the state of the #GstPipeline (see #GstElement) a #GstBus
42 * can be retrieved with gst_pipeline_get_bus(). This bus can then be
43 * used to receive #GstMessage from the elements in the pipeline.
45 * By default, a #GstPipeline will automatically flush the pending #GstBus
46 * messages when going to the NULL state to ensure that no circular
47 * references exist when no messages are read from the #GstBus. This
48 * behaviour can be changed with gst_pipeline_set_auto_flush_bus().
50 * When the #GstPipeline performs the PAUSED to PLAYING state change it will
51 * select a clock for the elements. The clock selection algorithm will by
52 * default select a clock provided by an element that is most upstream
53 * (closest to the source). For live pipelines (ones that return
54 * #GST_STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL from the gst_element_set_state() call) this
55 * will select the clock provided by the live source. For normal pipelines
56 * this will select a clock provided by the sinks (most likely the audio
57 * sink). If no element provides a clock, a default #GstSystemClock is used.
59 * The clock selection can be controlled with the gst_pipeline_use_clock()
60 * method, which will enforce a given clock on the pipeline. With
61 * gst_pipeline_auto_clock() the default clock selection algorithm can be
64 * A #GstPipeline maintains a running time for the elements. The running
65 * time is defined as the difference between the current clock time and
66 * the base time. When the pipeline goes to READY or a flushing seek is
67 * performed on it, the running time is reset to 0. When the pipeline is
68 * set from PLAYING to PAUSED, the current clock time is sampled and used to
69 * configure the base time for the elements when the pipeline is set
70 * to PLAYING again. The effect is that the running time (as the difference
71 * between the clock time and the base time) will count how much time was spent
72 * in the PLAYING state. This default behaviour can be changed with the
73 * gst_element_set_start_time() method.

795 * @auto_flush: whether or not to automatically flush the bus when
796 * the pipeline goes from READY to NULL state
798 * Usually, when a pipeline goes from READY to NULL state, it automatically
799 * flushes all pending messages on the bus, which is done for refcounting
800 * purposes, to break circular references.
802 * This means that applications that update state using (async) bus messages
803 * (e.g. do certain things when a pipeline goes from PAUSED to READY) might
804 * not get to see messages when the pipeline is shut down, because they might
805 * be flushed before they can be dispatched in the main thread. This behaviour
806 * can be disabled using this function.
808 * It is important that all messages on the bus are handled when the
809 * automatic flushing is disabled else memory leaks will be introduced.
