19
20 - gstreamer: provides the core GStreamer libraries and some generic plugins
21
22 - gst-plugins-base: a basic set of well-supported plugins and additional
23                     media-specific GStreamer helper libraries for audio,
24                     video, rtsp, rtp, tags, OpenGL, etc.

28
29 - gst-plugins-ugly: a set of well-supported plugins which might pose
30                     problems for distributors
31
32 - gst-plugins-bad: a set of plugins of varying quality that have not made
33                    their way into one of core/base/good/ugly yet, for one
34                    reason or another. Many of these are are production quality
35                    elements, but may still be missing documentation or unit
36                    tests; others haven't passed the rigorous quality testing
37                    we expect yet.

44                    VA-API on Linux. Primarily for Intel graphics hardware.
45
46 - gst-omx: hardware-accelerated video decoding and encoding, primarily for
47                    embedded Linux systems that provide an OpenMax
48                    implementation layer such as the Raspberry Pi.
