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 specity 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);

582 * The newsegment event marks the range of buffers to be processed. All
583 * data not within the segment range is not to be processed. This can be
584 * used intelligently by plugins to apply more efficient methods of skipping
585 * unneeded data. The valid range is expressed with the @start and @stop
588 * The time value of the segment is used in conjunction with the start
589 * value to convert the buffer timestamps into the stream time. This is
590 * usually done in sinks to report the current stream_time.
591 * @time represents the stream_time of a buffer carrying a timestamp of
592 * @start. @time cannot be -1.
594 * @start cannot be -1, @stop can be -1. If there
595 * is a valid @stop given, it must be greater or equal the @start, including
596 * when the indicated playback @rate is < 0.
598 * The @applied_rate value provides information about any rate adjustment that
599 * has already been made to the timestamps and content on the buffers of the
600 * stream. (@rate * @applied_rate) should always equal the rate that has been
601 * requested for playback. For example, if an element has an input segment
602 * with intended playback @rate of 2.0 and applied_rate of 1.0, it can adjust
603 * incoming timestamps and buffer content by half and output a newsegment event
604 * with @rate of 1.0 and @applied_rate of 2.0
606 * After a newsegment event, the buffer stream time is calculated with:
608 * time + (TIMESTAMP(buf) - start) * ABS (rate * applied_rate)
