/**
 * SECTION:gestrack
 * @title: GESTrack
 * @short_description: The output source of a #GESTimeline
 *
 * A #GESTrack acts an output source for a #GESTimeline. Each one
 * essentially provides an additional #GstPad for the timeline, with
 * #GESTrack:restriction-caps capabilities. Internally, a track
 * wraps an #nlecomposition filtered by a #capsfilter.
 *
 * A track will contain a number of #GESTrackElement-s, and its role is
 * to select and activate these elements according to their timings when
 * the timeline in played. For example, a track would activate a
 * #GESSource when its #GESTimelineElement:start is reached by outputting
 * its data for its #GESTimelineElement:duration. Similarly, a
 * #GESOperation would be activated by applying its effect to the source
 * data, starting from its #GESTimelineElement:start time and lasting for
 * its #GESTimelineElement:duration.
 *
 * For most users, it will usually be sufficient to add newly created
 * tracks to a timeline, but never directly add an element to a track.
 * Whenever a #GESClip is added to a timeline, the clip adds its
 * elements to the timeline's tracks and assumes responsibility for
 * updating them.
