Face it, the plugins/ directory hierarchy is crap. We want to propose a |
|
better layout for it now. Some things to consider: |
|
|
|
- Elements have a klass member in the factory that is used to |
|
denote the functional type of the element. For example, the |
|
mp3 encoder has a klass of Codec/Encoder/Audio |
|
|
|
- The plugins can be grouped together by the media type they |
|
operate on or by the way they work (decoder/encoder) |
|
|
|
In GStreamer all plugins are technically filters, the only way they |
|
can be considered sources or sinks (input/output) elements is |
|
by the absence of src/sink pads. At first sight the source/filter/ |
|
sink distinction is quite useless because most of the plugins |
|
will go into the filters category anyway. |
|
|
|
We don't want to make the hierarchy too deep, yet provide a |
|
clean way to ask for a mp3 decoder element.. |
|
|
|
Anyway this is a rough proposal to fire off the discussions... |
