[gst-devel] What are the types of the parameters that can be passed to gst_init ?

[Timothy Braun]

I would suggest looking at the application developers guide on the gstreamer website. It covers all of this with code examples. 

You don't have to be concerned with overlapping arguments since all of the gstreamer library args begin with '--gst-' and I don't believe they have a short form. 

Best,
Tim
