## 导言

GStreamer is an extremely powerful and versatile framework for creating streaming media applications. Many of the virtues of the GStreamer framework come from its modularity: GStreamer can seamlessly incorporate new plugin modules. But because modularity and power often come at a cost of greater complexity (consider, for example, CORBA), writing new plugins is not always easy.
GStreamer 是一个功能强大、用途广泛的框架，可用于创建流媒体应用程序。GStreamer 框架的许多优点都来自于它的模块化：GStreamer 可以无缝集成新的插件模块。但是，由于模块化和强大的功能往往以更高的复杂性为代价（例如 CORBA），因此编写新插件并非易事。

This guide is intended to help you understand the GStreamer framework so you can develop new plugins to extend the existing functionality. The guide addresses most issues by following the development of an example plugin - an audio filter plugin - written in C. However, the later parts of the guide also present some issues involved in writing other types of plugins, and the end of the guide describes some of the Python bindings for GStreamer.
本指南旨在帮助你了解 GStreamer 框架，以便开发新插件来扩展现有功能。本指南通过开发一个用 C 语言编写的音频过滤器插件示例来解决大部分问题。不过，本指南的后半部分也介绍了编写其他类型插件所涉及的一些问题，最后还介绍了 GStreamer 的一些 Python 绑定。
