/**
 * SECTION:gstpadtemplate
 * @short_description: Describe the media type of a pad.
 * @see_also: #GstPad, #GstElementFactory
 *
 * Padtemplates describe the possible media types a pad or an elementfactory can
 * handle. This allows for both inspection of handled types before loading the
 * element plugin as well as identifying pads on elements that are not yet
 * created (request or sometimes pads).
 *
 * Pad and PadTemplates have #GstCaps attached to it to describe the media type
 * they are capable of dealing with. gst_pad_template_get_caps() or
 * GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_CAPS() are used to get the caps of a padtemplate. It's not
 * possible to modify the caps of a padtemplate after creation.
 *
 * PadTemplates have a #GstPadPresence property which identifies the lifetime
 * of the pad and that can be retrieved with GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_PRESENCE(). Also
 * the direction of the pad can be retrieved from the #GstPadTemplate with
 * GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_DIRECTION().
 *
 * The GST_PAD_TEMPLATE_NAME_TEMPLATE () is important for GST_PAD_REQUEST pads
 * because it has to be used as the name in the gst_element_get_request_pad()
 * call to instantiate a pad from this template.
 *
 * Padtemplates can be created with gst_pad_template_new() or with
 * gst_static_pad_template_get (), which creates a #GstPadTemplate from a
 * #GstStaticPadTemplate that can be filled with the
 * convenient GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE() macro.
 *
 * A padtemplate can be used to create a pad (see gst_pad_new_from_template()
 * or gst_pad_new_from_static_template ()) or to add to an element class
 * (see gst_element_class_add_pad_template ()).
 *
 * The following code example shows the code to create a pad from a padtemplate.
 * <example>
 * <title>Create a pad from a padtemplate</title>
 *   <programlisting>
 *   GstStaticPadTemplate my_template =
 *   GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE (
 *     "sink",          // the name of the pad
 *     GST_PAD_SINK,    // the direction of the pad
 *     GST_PAD_ALWAYS,  // when this pad will be present
 *     GST_STATIC_CAPS (        // the capabilities of the padtemplate
 *       "audio/x-raw-int, "
 *         "channels = (int) [ 1, 6 ]"
 *     )
 *   );
 *   void
 *   my_method (void)
 *   {
 *     GstPad *pad;
 *     pad = gst_pad_new_from_static_template (&amp;my_template, "sink");
 *     ...
 *   }
 *   </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * The following example shows you how to add the padtemplate to an
 * element class, this is usually done in the class_init of the class:
 * <informalexample>
 *   <programlisting>
 *   static void
 *   my_element_class_init (GstMyElementClass *klass)
 *   {
 *     GstElementClass *gstelement_class = GST_ELEMENT_CLASS (klass);
 *
 *     gst_element_class_add_pad_template (gstelement_class,
 *         gst_static_pad_template_get (&amp;my_template));
 *   }
 *   </programlisting>
 * </informalexample>
