NAME
       gst-launch-ext - Run a predefined GStreamer pipeline

SYNOPSIS
       gst-launch-ext filename [filename...]

DESCRIPTION
       gst-launch-ext  is  a  tool  that  is  used to run a basic predefined GStreamer pipeline.  This application is only used as a quick test to
       ensure proper working of codecs and GStreamer.  It doesn't handle more advanced features like synchronisation.

       All supported formats in GStreamer should be playable by simply typing:

	gst-launch-ext filename

       It will also print out the pipeline it uses, so you can customize it using cut and paste.

CONFIGURATION
       gst-launch-ext can be configured by creating a .gst file in your home directory.  This is a perl-style configuration file and can  override
       the defaults for audio and video output sinks.

       Here is an example .gst file that implements the same defaults as hard-coded in the script :

       $cfg{AUDIOSINK} = "osssink"; $cfg{VIDEOSINK} = "colorspace ! xvideosink";

       You  can  change  osssink  to  any  of  esdsink,  alsasink,  jacksink (if you have the plug-in), and you can change xvideosink to aasink or
       sdlvideosink.

       Other plug-ins might be used as well if GStreamer has them.
