25 * @short_description: Container for features loaded from a shared object module
26 * @see_also: #GstPluginFeature, #GstElementFactory
28 * GStreamer is extensible, so #GstElement instances can be loaded at runtime.
29 * A plugin system can provide one or more of the basic
30 * <application>GStreamer</application> #GstPluginFeature subclasses.
32 * A plugin should export a symbol <symbol>gst_plugin_desc</symbol> that is a
33 * struct of type #GstPluginDesc.
34 * the plugin loader will check the version of the core library the plugin was
35 * linked against and will create a new #GstPlugin. It will then call the
36 * #GstPluginInitFunc function that was provided in the
37 * <symbol>gst_plugin_desc</symbol>.
39 * Once you have a handle to a #GstPlugin (e.g. from the #GstRegistry), you
40 * can add any object that subclasses #GstPluginFeature.
42 * Usually plugins are always automaticlly loaded so you don't need to call
43 * gst_plugin_load() explicitly to bring it into memory. There are options to
44 * statically link plugins to an app or even use GStreamer without a plugin
45 * repository in which case gst_plugin_load() can be needed to bring the plugin
