I think by and large this is still correct, but it depends a bit on
what exactly you want to do.

Can you describe your goals/requirements? There are many types of
'dynamic' stream recording.

gst_parse_launch() just doesn't work very well for dynamic things.
Having
said that, you can still use helpers like
gst_parse_bin_from_description(),
which are like gst_parse_launch() but  give you a bin / pipeline part
instead of a full top-level pipeline. So you can use it for branches
for example.

If you provide more specific info we might be able to point you to more
specific examples.

Cheers
 Tim
