This function is used if the user wants to create the GstPipeline himself. This means Farsight will use this pipeline instead of creating it's own. It will create a GstBin and insert it into the given pipeline. This is usefull when the user wants all the different Farsight streams to be part of the same global pipeline (i.e. Tee the same source to various streams) If the pipeline is set by the user, the sources will not be added into the Farsight bin.

NOTE: This has to be called before farsight_stream_prepare_transports() in order to be used.

This signal is emitted when the a new native candidate is found. After emission of this signal, farsight_stream_get_native_candidates should return meaningful data. This does not mean that the candidate has been prepared.

The "sink-pad-ready" signal

void        user_function                  (FarsightStream *self,
