* @short_description: A pool of threads
* @see_also: #GstRTSPMedia, #GstRTSPClient
*
* A #GstRTSPThreadPool manages reusable threads for various server tasks.
* Currently the defined thread types can be found in #GstRTSPThreadType.
*
* Threads of type #GST_RTSP_THREAD_TYPE_CLIENT are used to handle requests from
* a connected client. With gst_rtsp_thread_pool_get_max_threads() a maximum
* number of threads can be set after which the pool will start to reuse the
* same thread for multiple clients.
*
* Threads of type #GST_RTSP_THREAD_TYPE_MEDIA will be used to perform the state
* changes of the media pipelines and handle its bus messages.
*
* gst_rtsp_thread_pool_get_thread() can be used to create a #GstRTSPThread
* object of the right type. The thread object contains a mainloop and context
* that run in a seperate thread and can be used to attached sources to.
*
* gst_rtsp_thread_reuse() can be used to reuse a thread for multiple purposes.
* If all gst_rtsp_thread_reuse() calls are matched with a
* gst_rtsp_thread_stop() call, the mainloop will be quit and the thread will
* stop.
*
* To configure the threads, a subclass of this object should be made and the
* virtual methods should be overriden to implement the desired functionality.
