- GNOME stores the default video and audio sources and sinks in GConf.
- &GStreamer; provides a number of elements that create audio and

- Those elements are: gconfaudiosink, gconfvideosink, gconfaudiosrc
- and gconfvideosrc. You can create them with
- <function>gst_element_factory_make ()</function> and use them
- directly just like you would use any other source or sink element.
