+[Using an element as a GObject][element-object] presents the use of `GObject`

[`GTypeInterface`](http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/gtype-non-instantiable-classed.html)
type.
-Most of the interfaces handled here will not contain any example code.
-See the API references for details. Here, we will just describe the
-scope and purpose of each interface.
+This text is meant to be introductory and does not include source code examples.
+Please take a look a the API reference for additional details.

+In our examples so far, we have only showed support for local files
using the “filesrc” element, but GStreamer supports many more location
sources.
