 *
 * In case of CV_CAP_GSTREAMER_V4L(2), a pipelin is constructed as follows:
 *    v4l2src ! autoconvert ! appsink
 *
 *
 * The 'filename' parameter is not limited to filesystem paths, and may be one of the following:
 *
 *  - a normal filesystem path:
 *        e.g. video.avi or /path/to/video.avi or C:\\video.avi
 *  - an uri:
 *        e.g. file:///path/to/video.avi or rtsp:///path/to/stream.asf
 *  - a gstreamer pipeline description:
 *        e.g. videotestsrc ! videoconvert ! appsink
 *        the appsink name should be either 'appsink0' (the default) or 'opencvsink'
 *
 *  When dealing with a file, CvCapture_GStreamer will not drop frames if the grabbing interval
 *  larger than the framerate period. (Unlike the uri or manual pipeline description, which assume
 *  a live source)
 *
 *  The pipeline will only be started whenever the first frame is grabbed. Setting pipeline properties
 *  is really slow if we need to restart the pipeline over and over again.
 *
 *  TODO: the 'type' parameter is imo unneeded. for v4l2, filename 'v4l2:///dev/video0' can be used.
 *  I expect this to be the same for CV_CAP_GSTREAMER_1394. Is anyone actually still using v4l (v1)?
