 * GstEventType:
 * @GST_EVENT_UNKNOWN: unknown event.
 * @GST_EVENT_FLUSH_START: Start a flush operation. This event clears all data
 *                 from the pipeline and unblock all streaming threads.
 * @GST_EVENT_FLUSH_STOP: Stop a flush operation. This event resets the
 *                 running-time of the pipeline.
 * @GST_EVENT_STREAM_START: Event to mark the start of a new stream. Sent before any
 *                 other serialized event and only sent at the start of a new stream,
 *                 not after flushing seeks.
 * @GST_EVENT_CAPS: #GstCaps event. Notify the pad of a new media type.
 * @GST_EVENT_STREAM_CONFIG: contains configuration information for the stream,
 *                 for example stream-headers and codec-data.
 * @GST_EVENT_SEGMENT: A new media segment follows in the dataflow. The
 *                 segment events contains information for clipping buffers and
 *                 converting buffer timestamps to running-time and
 *                 stream-time.
 * @GST_EVENT_TAG: A new set of metadata tags has been found in the stream.
 * @GST_EVENT_BUFFERSIZE: Notification of buffering requirements. Currently not
 *                 used yet.
 * @GST_EVENT_SINK_MESSAGE: An event that sinks turn into a message. Used to
 *                          send messages that should be emitted in sync with
 *                          rendering.
 *                          Since: 0.10.26
 * @GST_EVENT_EOS: End-Of-Stream. No more data is to be expected to follow
 *                 without a SEGMENT event.
 * @GST_EVENT_SEGMENT_DONE: (unimplemented) Marks the end of a segment playback.
 * @GST_EVENT_GAP: (unimplemented) Marks a gap in the datastream.
 * @GST_EVENT_QOS: A quality message. Used to indicate to upstream elements
 *                 that the downstream elements should adjust their processing
 *                 rate.
 * @GST_EVENT_SEEK: A request for a new playback position and rate.
 * @GST_EVENT_NAVIGATION: Navigation events are usually used for communicating
 *                        user requests, such as mouse or keyboard movements,
 *                        to upstream elements.
 * @GST_EVENT_LATENCY: Notification of new latency adjustment. Sinks will use
 *                     the latency information to adjust their synchronisation.
 *                     Since: 0.10.12
 * @GST_EVENT_STEP: A request for stepping through the media. Sinks will usually
 *                  execute the step operation. Since: 0.10.24
 * @GST_EVENT_RECONFIGURE: A request for upstream renegotiating caps and reconfiguring.
 *                         Since: 0.11.0
 * @GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_UPSTREAM: Upstream custom event
 * @GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_DOWNSTREAM: Downstream custom event that travels in the
 *                        data flow.
 * @GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_DOWNSTREAM_OOB: Custom out-of-band downstream event.
 * @GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_DOWNSTREAM_STICKY: Custom sticky downstream event.
 * @GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_BOTH: Custom upstream or downstream event.
 *                         In-band when travelling downstream.
 * @GST_EVENT_CUSTOM_BOTH_OOB: Custom upstream or downstream out-of-band event.
 *
 * #GstEventType lists the standard event types that can be sent in a pipeline.
 *
 * The custom event types can be used for private messages between elements
 * that can't be expressed using normal
 * GStreamer buffer passing semantics. Custom events carry an arbitrary
 * #GstStructure.
 * Specific custom events are distinguished by the name of the structure.
