/**
 * SECTION:element-multiqueue
 * @see_also: #GstQueue
 *
 * <refsect2>
 * <para>
 * Multiqueue is similar to a normal #GstQueue with the following additional
 * features:
 * <orderedlist>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Multiple streamhandling</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     The element handles queueing data on more than one stream at once. To
 *     achieve such a feature it has request sink pads (sink&percnt;d) and
 *     'sometimes' src pads (src&percnt;d).
 *   </para><para>
 *     When requesting a given sinkpad with gst_element_get_request_pad(),
 *     the associated srcpad for that stream will be created.
 *     Example: requesting sink1 will generate src1.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   </itemizedlist>
 * </listitem>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Non-starvation on multiple streams</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     If more than one stream is used with the element, the streams' queues
 *     will be dynamically grown (up to a limit), in order to ensure that no
 *     stream is risking data starvation. This guarantees that at any given
 *     time there are at least N bytes queued and available for each individual
 *     stream.
 *   </para><para>
 *     If an EOS event comes through a srcpad, the associated queue will be
 *     considered as 'not-empty' in the queue-size-growing algorithm.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   </itemizedlist>
 * </listitem>
 * <listitem>
 *   <itemizedlist><title>Non-linked srcpads graceful handling</title>
 *   <listitem><para>
 *     In order to better support dynamic switching between streams, the multiqueue
 *     (unlike the current GStreamer queue) continues to push buffers on non-linked
 *     pads rather than shutting down.
 *   </para><para>
 *     In addition, to prevent a non-linked stream from very quickly consuming all
 *     available buffers and thus 'racing ahead' of the other streams, the element
 *     must ensure that buffers and inlined events for a non-linked stream are pushed
 *     in the same order as they were received, relative to the other streams
 *     controlled by the element. This means that a buffer cannot be pushed to a
 *     non-linked pad any sooner than buffers in any other stream which were received
 *     before it.
 *   </para></listitem>
 *   </itemizedlist>
 * </listitem>
 * </orderedlist>
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   Data is queued until one of the limits specified by the
 *   #GstMultiQueue:max-size-buffers, #GstMultiQueue:max-size-bytes and/or
 *   #GstMultiQueue:max-size-time properties has been reached. Any attempt to push
 *   more buffers into the queue will block the pushing thread until more space
 *   becomes available. #GstMultiQueue:extra-size-buffers,
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   #GstMultiQueue:extra-size-bytes and #GstMultiQueue:extra-size-time are
 *   currently unused.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   The default queue size limits are 5 buffers, 10MB of data, or
 *   two second worth of data, whichever is reached first. Note that the number
 *   of buffers will dynamically grow depending on the fill level of 
 *   other queues.
 * </para>
 * <para>
 *   The #GstMultiQueue::underrun signal is emitted when all of the queues
 *   are empty. The #GstMultiQueue::overrun signal is emitted when one of the
 *   queues is filled.
 *   Both signals are emitted from the context of the streaming thread.
 * </para>
