<a name="GstPipeline.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>A <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> is a special <a class="link" href="GstBin.html" title="GstBin"><span class="type">GstBin</span></a> used as the toplevel container for
the filter graph. The <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> will manage the selection and
distribution of a global <a class="link" href="GstClock.html" title="GstClock"><span class="type">GstClock</span></a> as well as provide a <a class="link" href="GstBus.html" title="GstBus"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a> to the
application.</p>
<p>gst_pipeline_new() is used to create a pipeline. when you are done with
the pipeline, use <a class="link" href="GstObject.html#gst-object-unref" title="gst_object_unref ()"><code class="function">gst_object_unref()</code></a> to free its resources including all
added <a class="link" href="GstElement.html" title="GstElement"><span class="type">GstElement</span></a> objects (if not otherwise referenced).</p>
<p>Elements are added and removed from the pipeline using the <a class="link" href="GstBin.html" title="GstBin"><span class="type">GstBin</span></a>
methods like <a class="link" href="GstBin.html#gst-bin-add" title="gst_bin_add ()"><code class="function">gst_bin_add()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="GstBin.html#gst-bin-remove" title="gst_bin_remove ()"><code class="function">gst_bin_remove()</code></a> (see <a class="link" href="GstBin.html" title="GstBin"><span class="type">GstBin</span></a>).</p>
<p>Before changing the state of the <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> (see <a class="link" href="GstElement.html" title="GstElement"><span class="type">GstElement</span></a>) a <a class="link" href="GstBus.html" title="GstBus"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a>
can be retrieved with <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html#gst-pipeline-get-bus" title="gst_pipeline_get_bus ()"><code class="function">gst_pipeline_get_bus()</code></a>. This bus can then be
used to receive <a class="link" href="GstMessage.html" title="GstMessage"><span class="type">GstMessage</span></a> from the elements in the pipeline.</p>
<p>By default, a <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> will automatically flush the pending <a class="link" href="GstBus.html" title="GstBus"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a>
messages when going to the NULL state to ensure that no circular
references exist when no messages are read from the <a class="link" href="GstBus.html" title="GstBus"><span class="type">GstBus</span></a>. This
behaviour can be changed with <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html#gst-pipeline-set-auto-flush-bus" title="gst_pipeline_set_auto_flush_bus ()"><code class="function">gst_pipeline_set_auto_flush_bus()</code></a>.</p>
<p>When the <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> performs the PAUSED to PLAYING state change it will
select a clock for the elements. The clock selection algorithm will by
default select a clock provided by an element that is most upstream
(closest to the source). For live pipelines (ones that return
<a class="link" href="GstElement.html#GST-STATE-CHANGE-NO-PREROLL:CAPS"><span class="type">GST_STATE_CHANGE_NO_PREROLL</span></a> from the <a class="link" href="GstElement.html#gst-element-set-state" title="gst_element_set_state ()"><code class="function">gst_element_set_state()</code></a> call) this
will select the clock provided by the live source. For normal pipelines
this will select a clock provided by the sinks (most likely the audio
sink). If no element provides a clock, a default <a class="link" href="GstSystemClock.html" title="GstSystemClock"><span class="type">GstSystemClock</span></a> is used.</p>
<p>The clock selection can be controlled with the <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html#gst-pipeline-use-clock" title="gst_pipeline_use_clock ()"><code class="function">gst_pipeline_use_clock()</code></a>
method, which will enforce a given clock on the pipeline. With
<a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html#gst-pipeline-auto-clock" title="gst_pipeline_auto_clock ()"><code class="function">gst_pipeline_auto_clock()</code></a> the default clock selection algorithm can be
restored.</p>
<p>A <a class="link" href="GstPipeline.html" title="GstPipeline"><span class="type">GstPipeline</span></a> maintains a running time for the elements. The running
time is defined as the difference between the current clock time and
the base time. When the pipeline goes to READY or a flushing seek is
performed on it, the running time is reset to 0. When the pipeline is
set from PLAYING to PAUSED, the current clock time is sampled and used to
configure the base time for the elements when the pipeline is set
to PLAYING again. The effect is that the running time (as the difference
between the clock time and the base time) will count how much time was spent
in the PLAYING state. This default behaviour can be changed with the
<a class="link" href="GstElement.html#gst-element-set-start-time" title="gst_element_set_start_time ()"><code class="function">gst_element_set_start_time()</code></a> method.</p>

<p>Usually, when a pipeline goes from READY to NULL state, it automatically
flushes all pending messages on the bus, which is done for refcounting
purposes, to break circular references.</p>
<p>This means that applications that update state using (async) bus messages
(e.g. do certain things when a pipeline goes from PAUSED to READY) might
not get to see messages when the pipeline is shut down, because they might
be flushed before they can be dispatched in the main thread. This behaviour
can be disabled using this function.</p>
<p>It is important that all messages on the bus are handled when the
automatic flushing is disabled else memory leaks will be introduced.</p>
