+# Creating special element types
+
+By now, we have looked at pretty much any feature that can be embedded
+into a GStreamer element. Most of this has been fairly low-level and
+given deep insights in how GStreamer works internally. Fortunately,
+GStreamer contains some easier-to-use interfaces to create such
+elements. In order to do that, we will look closer at the element types
+for which GStreamer provides base classes (sources, sinks and
+transformation elements). We will also look closer at some types of
+elements that require no specific coding such as scheduling-interaction
+or data passing, but rather require specific pipeline control (e.g.
+N-to-1 elements and managers).
