We recently got a nice contribution in term of documentation. There is
a nice documentation page with integrated search functionality at:

  https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation

In there, you will find the Application Developer guide, which explains
a lot about GStreamer, the design, the historical inspiration etc. I
believe that reading the part about the Foundation would be great
enlightment for you.

https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/application-development
/introduction/basics.htmlhttps://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentatio
n/application-development/introduction/basics.htmlhttps://gstreamer.fre
edesktop.org/documentation/application-
development/introduction/basics.html

We don't have a chapter specifically on media formats and how they work
though. I read few paragraph of this page, and it was pretty much what
I was expecting, explaining the difference between a container, a
CODEC, what a media player is doing, etc.
