/**
 * SECTION:gstelement
 * @title: GstElement
 * @short_description: Abstract base class for all pipeline elements
 * @see_also: #GstElementFactory, #GstPad
 * @symbols:
 * - GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_LONGNAME
 * - GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_KLASS
 * - GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_DESCRIPTION
 * - GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_AUTHOR
 * - GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_DOC_URI
 * - GST_ELEMENT_METADATA_ICON_NAME
 *
 * GstElement is the abstract base class needed to construct an element that
 * can be used in a GStreamer pipeline. Please refer to the plugin writers
 * guide for more information on creating #GstElement subclasses.
 *
 * The name of a #GstElement can be get with gst_element_get_name() and set with
 * gst_element_set_name().  For speed, GST_ELEMENT_NAME() can be used in the
 * core when using the appropriate locking. Do not use this in plug-ins or
 * applications in order to retain ABI compatibility.
 *
 * Elements can have pads (of the type #GstPad).  These pads link to pads on
 * other elements.  #GstBuffer flow between these linked pads.
 * A #GstElement has a #GList of #GstPad structures for all their input (or sink)
 * and output (or source) pads.
 * Core and plug-in writers can add and remove pads with gst_element_add_pad()
 * and gst_element_remove_pad().
 *
 * An existing pad of an element can be retrieved by name with
 * gst_element_get_static_pad(). A new dynamic pad can be created using
 * gst_element_request_pad() with a #GstPadTemplate.
 * An iterator of all pads can be retrieved with gst_element_iterate_pads().
 *
 * Elements can be linked through their pads.
 * If the link is straightforward, use the gst_element_link()
 * convenience function to link two elements, or gst_element_link_many()
 * for more elements in a row.
 * Use gst_element_link_filtered() to link two elements constrained by
 * a specified set of #GstCaps.
 * For finer control, use gst_element_link_pads() and
 * gst_element_link_pads_filtered() to specify the pads to link on
 * each element by name.
 *
 * Each element has a state (see #GstState).  You can get and set the state
 * of an element with gst_element_get_state() and gst_element_set_state().
 * Setting a state triggers a #GstStateChange. To get a string representation
 * of a #GstState, use gst_element_state_get_name().
 *
 * You can get and set a #GstClock on an element using gst_element_get_clock()
 * and gst_element_set_clock().
 * Some elements can provide a clock for the pipeline if
 * the #GST_ELEMENT_FLAG_PROVIDE_CLOCK flag is set. With the
 * gst_element_provide_clock() method one can retrieve the clock provided by
 * such an element.
 * Not all elements require a clock to operate correctly. If the
 * #GST_ELEMENT_FLAG_REQUIRE_CLOCK() flag is set, a clock should be set on the
 * element with gst_element_set_clock().
 *
 * Note that clock selection and distribution is normally handled by the
 * toplevel #GstPipeline so the clock functions are only to be used in very
 * specific situations.
