/**
* gst_filter_run:
* @list: a linked list
* @func: the function to execute for each item
* @first: flag to stop execution after a successful item
* @user_data: user data
*
* Iterates over the elements in @list, calling @func with the
* list item data for each item. If @func returns TRUE, @data is
* prepended to the list of results returned. If @first is true,
* the search is halted after the first result is found.
*
* Since gst_filter_run() knows nothing about the type of @data, no
* reference will be taken (if @data refers to an object) and no copy of
* @data wil be made in any other way when prepending @data to the list of
* results.
*
* Returns: the list of results. Free with g_list_free() when no longer needed
* (the data contained in the list is a flat copy and does need to be
* unreferenced or freed).
