First what I wanted to do worked, I'm just trying to better understand how
gstreamer works.<br>
<br>
I was trying to figure out the best way to organise my code for an application
and a static plugin (not compiled as .so) <br>
<br>
I used the plugin template to generate gstmyplugin.[ch] and I just replaced the
GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE by<br>
the GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE_STATIC in gstmyplugin.c.<br>
<br>
Looking at the definition of the GST_PLUGIN_DEFINE_STATIC macro, it creates a
function: <br>
_gst_plugin_static_init__my_plugin_init ()<br>
that simply fills a GstPluginDesc structure and then call
_gst_plugin_register_static ().<br>
<br>
So my question is: when is this function called when I execute my application ?
I had nothing to change to the app code, just had it linked with the produced
gstmyplugin.o and gstreamer is able to find my custom plugin (gst_factory_make(
