The .. ! video/x-raw,framerate=25/1 ! ...  bit is a shortcut notation
for a capsfilter element. In an application you can do

 capsfilter = gst_element_factory_make ("capsfilter", NULL);
 caps = gst_caps_new_from_string ("video/x-raw, framerate=25/1");
 g_object_set (capsfilter, "caps", caps, NULL);
 gst_caps_unref (caps);

One frame per minute would be framerate=1/60 I suppose.
