<p>A <a class="link" href="gstreamer-GstDeviceProvider.html#GstDeviceProvider" title="struct GstDeviceProvider"><span class="type">GstDeviceProvider</span></a> subclass is provided by a plugin that handles devices
if there is a way to programatically list connected devices. It can also
optionally provide updates to the list of connected devices.</p>
<p>Each <a class="link" href="gstreamer-GstDeviceProvider.html#GstDeviceProvider" title="struct GstDeviceProvider"><span class="type">GstDeviceProvider</span></a> subclass is a singleton, a plugin should
normally provide a single subclass for all devices.</p>
