28 * @short_description: Get a pipeline from a text pipeline description
30 * These function allow to create a pipeline based on the syntax used in the
31 * gst-launch-1.0 utility (see man-page for syntax documentation).
33 * Please note that these functions take several measures to create
34 * somewhat dynamic pipelines. Due to that such pipelines are not always
35 * reusable (set the state to NULL and back to PLAYING).
