Huh?: Gstreamer Basic Tutorial / API (3: Dynamic pipelines)

[R C]

so while messing with it,  I forgot to change teh second part, and even 
though it seems incosistent, can someone explain why this works?  (I am 
just putting the declarations here,  rewritting to ugly got's into 
something nicr is not the problem)


in the main part the declarations I had are:

// Create the elements
data.source = gst_element_factory_make("uridecodebin", "source");
data.audioconvert = gst_element_factory_make("audioconvert", 
"audioconvert");
data.audiosink = gst_element_factory_make("autoaudiosink", "audiosink");
data.videoconvert = gst_element_factory_make("videoconvert", 
"videoconvert");
data.videosink = gst_element_factory_make("autovideosink", "videosink");


and I forgot to make the changes in the second part (pad_added_handler), 
surprised it worked, and seems counter-intuitive?

GstPad *audiosink_pad = gst_element_get_static_pad(data->audioconvert, 
"sink");
GstPad *videosink_pad = gst_element_get_static_pad(data->videoconvert, 
"sink");


but  ..  why??  How can it even find the right GstElement, since none of 
the are named "sink"?


docs:

******************************************************************


      gst_element_get_static_pad ()

GstPad  <https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstPad.html>  *
gst_element_get_static_pad (/|GstElement 
<https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstElement.html> 
*element|/,
                             /|const gchar 
<https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Basic-Types.html#gchar> 
*name|/);

Retrieves a pad from /|element|/ by name. This version only retrieves 
already-existing (i.e. 'static') pads.

*Parameters*

element a GstElement 
<https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstElement.html> 
to find a static pad of.

name the name of the static GstPad 
<https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstPad.html> 
to retrieve.


        Returns

the requested GstPad 
<https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gstreamer/html/GstPad.html> 
if found, otherwise |NULL| 
<https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/glib-Standard-Macros.html#NULL:CAPS>. 
unref after usage.

MT safe.
