Initializes the GStreamer library, setting up internal path lists,
registering built-in elements, and loading standard plugins.
Unless the plugin registry is disabled at compile time, the registry will be
loaded. By default this will also check if the registry cache needs to be
updated and rescan all plugins if needed. See gst_update_registry() for
details and section
Running GStreamer Applications
for how to disable automatic registry updates.
Note
This function will terminate your program if it was unable to initialize
GStreamer for some reason. If you want your program to fall back,
use gst_init_check() instead.
WARNING: This function does not work in the same way as corresponding
functions in other glib-style libraries, such as gtk_init(). In
particular, unknown command line options cause this function to
abort program execution.
