* @short_description: base class for control source sources
*
* The #GstControlSource is a base class for control value sources that could
* be used by #GstController to get timestamp-value pairs.
* be used by #GstController to get timestamp-value pairs. A control source
* essentially is a function over time, returning gloat values between 0.0 and 1.0.
*
* A #GstControlSource is used by first getting an instance, binding it to a
* #GParamSpec (for example by using gst_controller_set_control_source()) and
* then by having it used by the #GstController or calling
* gst_control_source_get_value() or gst_control_source_get_value_array().
*
* For implementing a new #GstControlSource one has to implement a
* #GstControlSourceBind method, which will depending on the #GParamSpec set up
* the control source for use and sets the #GstControlSourceGetValue and
* #GstControlSourceGetValueArray functions. These are then used by
* gst_control_source_get_value() or gst_control_source_get_value_array()
* to get values for specific timestamps.
* A #GstControlSource is used by first getting an instance of a specific
* control-source, creating a binding for the control-source to the target property
* of the element and then adding the binding to the element. The binding will
* convert the data types and value range to fit to the bound property.
