GStreamer is a streaming-media framework, based on graphs of filters which
operate on media data. Applications using this library can do anything
from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just about anything
else media-related. Its plugin-based architecture means that new data
types or processing capabilities can be added simply by installing new
plug-ins.

This package contains a set of plug-ins that are considered to have
good quality code, correct functionality, the preferred license (LGPL
for the plug-in code, LGPL or LGPL-compatible for the supporting
library). People writing elements should base their code on these
elements.
