gstreamer-rs/examples/src/bin/decodebin.rs

// This example demonstrates the use of the decodebin element
// The decodebin element tries to automatically detect the incoming
// format and to autoplug the appropriate demuxers / decoders to handle it.
// and decode it to raw audio, video or subtitles.
// Before the pipeline hasn't been prerolled, the decodebin can't possibly know what
// format it gets as its input. So at first, the pipeline looks like this:

// {filesrc} - {decodebin}

// As soon as the decodebin has detected the stream format, it will try to decode every
// contained stream to its raw format.
// The application connects a signal-handler to decodebin's pad-added signal, which tells us
// whenever the decodebin provided us with another contained (raw) stream from the input file.

// This application supports audio and video streams. Video streams are
// displayed using an autovideosink, and audiostreams are played back using autoaudiosink.
// So for a file that contains one audio and one video stream,
// the pipeline looks like the following:

//                        /-[audio]-{audioconvert}-{audioresample}-{autoaudiosink}
// {filesrc}-{decodebin}-|
//                        \-[video]-{viceoconvert}-{videoscale}-{autovideosink}

// Both auto-sinks at the end automatically select the best available (actual) sink. Since the
// selection of available actual sinks is platform specific
// (like using pulseaudio for audio output on linux, e.g.),
// we need to add the audioconvert and audioresample elements before handing the stream to the
// autoaudiosink, because we need to make sure, that the stream is always supported by the actual sink.
// Especially Windows APIs tend to be quite picky about samplerate and sample-format.
// The same applies to videostreams.
