Gstreamer is amazing, I can mix and match from hundreds of plugins to create a pipeline that can do anything I want!

Gstreamer is great, sure it’s a bit complex at first, and I’m not sure what’s going on under the hood, but I’m sure the more I use it the more I’ll get comfortable with it.

Gstreamer is good, everything being a plugin means that I can just build my own plugins and extend it to do whatever I need.

Gstreamer is ok, you can build very complex stuff with it! I’m just waiting for the next release, there are a few annoying bugs and a lot of features that I’m waiting to see implemented.

Why is this pipeline leaking memory? Why is appsrcgrowing in size above and beyond the specified max-bytes1 (aka: “The maximum number of bytes to queue internally”)? WTF Gstreamer?
