# 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..
