+GStreamer Rust Bindings and Rust Plugins
+
+The GStreamer Rust bindings are released separately with a different
+release cadence that’s tied to gtk-rs, but the latest release has
+already been updated for the upcoming new GStreamer 1.20 API.
+
+gst-plugins-rs, the module containing GStreamer plugins written in Rust,
+has also seen lots of activity with many new elements and plugins.
+
+What follows is a list of elements and plugins available in
+gst-plugins-rs, so people don’t miss out on all those potentially useful
+elements that have no C equivalent.
+
+- FIXME: add new elements
+
+Rust audio plugins
+
+- audiornnoise: New element for audio denoising which implements the
+ noise removal algorithm of the Xiph RNNoise library, in Rust
+- rsaudioecho: Port of the audioecho element from gst-plugins-good
+ rsaudioloudnorm: Live audio loudness normalization element based on
+ the FFmpeg af_loudnorm filter
+- claxondec: FLAC lossless audio codec decoder element based on the
+ pure-Rust claxon implementation
+- csoundfilter: Audio filter that can use any filter defined via the
+ Csound audio programming language
+- lewtondec: Vorbis audio decoder element based on the pure-Rust
+ lewton implementation
+
+Rust video plugins
+
+- cdgdec/cdgparse: Decoder and parser for the CD+G video codec based
+ on a pure-Rust CD+G implementation, used for example by karaoke CDs
+- cea608overlay: CEA-608 Closed Captions overlay element
+- cea608tott: CEA-608 Closed Captions to timed-text (e.g. VTT or SRT
+ subtitles) converter
+- tttocea608: CEA-608 Closed Captions from timed-text converter
+- mccenc/mccparse: MacCaption Closed Caption format encoder and parser
+- sccenc/sccparse: Scenarist Closed Caption format encoder and parser
+- dav1dec: AV1 video decoder based on the dav1d decoder implementation
+ by the VLC project
+- rav1enc: AV1 video encoder based on the fast and pure-Rust rav1e
+ encoder implementation
+- rsflvdemux: Alternative to the flvdemux FLV demuxer element from
+ gst-plugins-good, not feature-equivalent yet
+- rsgifenc/rspngenc: GIF/PNG encoder elements based on the pure-Rust
+ implementations by the image-rs project
+
+Rust text plugins
+
+- textwrap: Element for line-wrapping timed text (e.g. subtitles) for
+ better screen-fitting, including hyphenation support for some
+ languages
+
+Rust network plugins
+
+- reqwesthttpsrc: HTTP(S) source element based on the Rust
+ reqwest/hyper HTTP implementations and almost feature-equivalent
+ with the main GStreamer HTTP source souphttpsrc
+- s3src/s3sink: Source/sink element for the Amazon S3 cloud storage
+- awstranscriber: Live audio to timed text transcription element using
+ the Amazon AWS Transcribe API
+
+Generic Rust plugins
+
+- sodiumencrypter/sodiumdecrypter: Encryption/decryption element based
+ on libsodium/NaCl
+- togglerecord: Recording element that allows to pause/resume
+ recordings easily and considers keyframe boundaries
+- fallbackswitch/fallbacksrc: Elements for handling potentially
+ failing (network) sources, restarting them on errors/timeout and
+ showing a fallback stream instead
+- threadshare: Set of elements that provide alternatives for various
+ existing GStreamer elements but allow to share the streaming threads
+ between each other to reduce the number of threads
+- rsfilesrc/rsfilesink: File source/sink elements as replacements for
+ the existing filesrc/filesink elements
