## Base Utils Library

gstpbutils — General Application and Plugin Utility Library
gstpbutilsdescriptions — Provides human-readable descriptions for caps/codecs and encoder, decoder, URI source and URI sink elements
gstpbutilsmissingplugins — Create, recognise and parse missing-plugins messages
gstpbutilsinstallplugins — Missing plugin installation support for applications

This library should be linked to by getting cflags and libs from `gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.pc` and adding `-lgstpbutils-0.10` to the library flags.
