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

for how to disable automatic registry updates.

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.
