26 * @short_description: Structure describing events that are passed up and down
28 * @see_also: #GstPad, #GstElement
30 * The event class provides factory methods to construct events for sending
31 * and functions to query (parse) received events.
33 * Events are usually created with gst_event_new_*() which takes event-type
34 * specific parameters as arguments.
35 * To send an event application will usually use gst_element_send_event() and
36 * elements will use gst_pad_send_event() or gst_pad_push_event().
37 * The event should be unreffed with gst_event_unref() if it has not been sent.
39 * Events that have been received can be parsed with their respective
40 * gst_event_parse_*() functions. It is valid to pass %NULL for unwanted details.
42 * Events are passed between elements in parallel to the data stream. Some events
43 * are serialized with buffers, others are not. Some events only travel downstream,
44 * others only upstream. Some events can travel both upstream and downstream.
46 * The events are used to signal special conditions in the datastream such as
47 * EOS (end of stream) or the start of a new stream-segment.
48 * Events are also used to flush the pipeline of any pending data.
50 * Most of the event API is used inside plugins. Applications usually only
51 * construct and use seek events.
52 * To do that gst_event_new_seek() is used to create a seek event. It takes
53 * the needed parameters to specify seeking time and mode.
55 * <title>performing a seek on a pipeline</title>
60 * // construct a seek event to play the media from second 2 to 5, flush
61 * // the pipeline to decrease latency.
62 * event = gst_event_new_seek (1.0,
64 * GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH,
65 * GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 2 * GST_SECOND,
66 * GST_SEEK_TYPE_SET, 5 * GST_SECOND);
68 * result = gst_element_send_event (pipeline, event);
70 * g_warning ("seek failed");

1130 * throttling. Typically sinks generate these events for each buffer
1133 * @type indicates the reason for the QoS event. #GST_QOS_TYPE_OVERFLOW is
1134 * used when a buffer arrived in time or when the sink cannot keep up with
1135 * the upstream datarate. #GST_QOS_TYPE_UNDERFLOW is when the sink is not
1136 * receiving buffers fast enough and thus has to drop late buffers.
1137 * #GST_QOS_TYPE_THROTTLE is used when the datarate is artificially limited
1138 * by the application, for example to reduce power consumption.
1140 * @proportion indicates the real-time performance of the streaming in the
1141 * element that generated the QoS event (usually the sink). The value is
1142 * generally computed based on more long term statistics about the streams
1143 * timestamps compared to the clock.
1144 * A value < 1.0 indicates that the upstream element is producing data faster
1145 * than real-time. A value > 1.0 indicates that the upstream element is not
1146 * producing data fast enough. 1.0 is the ideal @proportion value. The
1147 * proportion value can safely be used to lower or increase the quality of
1150 * @diff is the difference against the clock in running time of the last
1151 * buffer that caused the element to generate the QOS event. A negative value
1152 * means that the buffer with @timestamp arrived in time. A positive value
1153 * indicates how late the buffer with @timestamp was. When throttling is
1154 * enabled, @diff will be set to the requested throttling interval.
1156 * @timestamp is the timestamp of the last buffer that cause the element
1157 * to generate the QOS event. It is expressed in running time and thus an ever
1160 * The upstream element can use the @diff and @timestamp values to decide
