Note: all other modules are built if the configure script discovers the required package. To prevent a module from being built, pass --disable-[module] to configure. Run configure --help for all the available module names. Contents The gst-plugins package contains gst-launch-ext-0.8, gst-visualise-0.8, libgst* libraries, numerous GStreamer plugins and a Gstreamer GDK pixbuf loader module. Description gst-launch-ext-0.8 gst-launch-ext-0.8 is used to run a basic predefined GStreamer pipeline as a quick test to ensure proper working of codecs and GStreamer. gst-visualise-0.8 gst-visualise-0.8 is used to run a basic GStreamer pipeline to display a graphical visualisation of an audio stream.
