| gst\-launch\-ext \- Run a predefined GStreamer pipeline |

| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .LP |
| \fIgst\-launch\-ext\fP is a tool that is used to run a basic predefined |
| \fIGStreamer\fP pipeline. This application is only used as a quick test to |
| ensure proper working of codecs and GStreamer. It doesn't handle more advanced |
| features like synchronisation. |
| |
| All supported formats in GStreamer should be playable by simply typing: |
| |
| gst\-launch\-ext filename |
| |
| It will also print out the pipeline it uses, so you can customize it using |
| cut and paste. |
| |
| .SH "CONFIGURATION" |
| .LP |
| \fIgst\-launch\-ext\fP can be configured by creating a .gst file in your |
| home directory. This is a perl-style configuration file and can override |
| the defaults for audio and video output sinks. |
| |
| Here is an example .gst file that implements the same defaults as hard-coded |
| in the script : |
| |
| AUDIOSINK = osssink |
| VIDEOSINK = ffmpegcolorspace ! xvimagesink |
| |
| You can change osssink to esdsink or alsasink (if you have |
| the plug-in), and you can change xvimagesink to ximagesink, aasink |
| or sdlvideosink. |
| |
| Other plug-ins might be used as well if GStreamer has them. |
