| <para> |
| &GStreamer; has an autoplugging mechanism, which enables application writers |
| to simply specify start and end elements for a path, and the system will |
| then create a path which links these elements, in accordance with the type |
| information provided by the elements. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| It is possible to devise many different schemes for generating such |
| pathways, perhaps to optimise based on special criteria, or with some |
| specific constraints. It is thus possible to define new autoplugging |
| systems, using the plugin system. |
