Messages are implemented as a subclass of GstMiniObject with a generic
|
2005-04-21 09:37:34 +00:00
|
|
|
GstStructure as the content. This allows for writing custom messages without
|
|
|
|
|
requiring an API change while allowing a wide range of different types
|
|
|
|
|
of messages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Messages are posted by objects in the pipeline and are passed to the
|
|
|
|
|
application using the GstBus.
