A gst launch string, or a URI for the automagic playbin and playbin2 elements.

GStreamer "registers" all plugins found in GST_PLUGIN_PATH at
initialization time (gst_init() I believe.)

GStreamer elements tell GStreamer what types of media they support,
and using that information GStreamer elements such as playbin and
playbin2 can figure out what elements are needed for media playback.

You'll need to be more specific. Unfortunately I have no idea what
details you might want. Try something like this:

GST_DEBUG=*:3 gst-launch playbin uri=u://r/l
