<title>The query function</title>
<para>
Through the query function, your element will receive queries that it
has to reply to. These are queries like position, duration but also
about the supported formats and scheduling modes your element supports.
Queries can travel both upstream and downstream, so you can receive them
on sink pads as well as source pads.
</para>
<para>
Below follows a very simple query function that we install on the source
pad of our element.

</programlisting>
<para>
It is a good idea to call the default query handler
<function>gst_pad_query_default ()</function> for unknown queries.
Depending on the query type, the default handler will forward
the query or simply unref it.
