+# Example for the startup-problem
+#
+# The Pipeline will start but the test-image will be still, as long as no
+# ShmSink at /tmp/grabber-v is present (run ../test-grabber-src.sh in another shell)
+#
+# Even though the ShmSrc is not linked to anything and logically not required for
+# the videotestsrc or the ximagesink, the whole pipeline won't startup when this element
+# fails to start.
+#
+# once the pipeline is running, it does not matter what happens to the ShmSink on the
+# other end, because the TestBin filters all EOS and ERROR Messages coming from the ShmSrc,
+# but somehow this is not enough to make the pipeline start in an error-condition..
