= GStreamer Types

GStreamer assigns a unique number to all registered MIME types. GStreamer also keeps a reference to a function that can be used to determine if a given buffer is of the given MIME type.

There is also an association between a MIME type and a file extension, but the use of typefind functions (similar to (({file(1)}))) is preferred.

The type information is maintained in a list of Gst::Type.  All operations on Gst::Type occur via their ID numbers, which you can retrieve with Gst::Type#id.  You can also get the file extensions handled with Gst::Type#exts and the MIME type with Gst::Type#mime.

== MIME Type Conversion

We can obtain a Gst::Type for a given MIME type with the following piece of code:

  type = Gst::Type.find_by_mime("audio/mpeg")

This method will return nil if the type was not known.

== ID Conversion

We can obtain a Gst::Type for a given ID with the following piece of code:

  type = Gst::Type.find_by_id(id)

This method will return nil if the id was not associated with any known Gst::Type.

== Extension Conversion

We can obtain the Gst::Type for a given file extension with the following piece of code:

  type = Gst::Type.find_by_ext(".mp3")

This method will return nil if the type was not known.
