+
+ChangeLog
+---------
+
+The upstream ChangeLog is not included in all the plugin packages due to its
+large size.  Please see upstream sources if you are interested in detailed
+source changes.
+
+External tools support
+----------------------
+
+Your favorite codec isn't wrapped as a plugin?  External programs can be
+used to process streams.  Take a look at "pipefilter" element or try
+something like this (untested):
+
+  $ mkfifo fifo
+  $ gst-launch myaudiosrc ! filesink location=fifo &
+  $ cat fifo | my_encoder > output_file
