Implementing interfaces is intiated in the <function>_get_type ()</function>
of your element. You can register one or more interfaces after having
registered the type itself. Some interfaces have dependencies on other
interfaces or can only be registered by certain types of elements. You
will be notified of doing that wrongly when using the element: it will
quit with failed assertions, which will explain what went wrong. In the
case of GStreamer, the only dependency that <emphasis>some</emphasis>
interfaces have is <classname>GstImplementsInterface</classname>. Per
interface, we will indicate clearly when it depends on this extension.
If it does, you need to register support for <emphasis>that</emphasis>
interface before registering support for the interface that you're
wanting to support. The example below explains how to add support for a
simple interface with no further dependencies. For a small explanation
on <classname>GstImplementsInterface</classname>, see the next section
about the mixer interface: <xref linkend="sect1-iface-mixer"/>.

The goal of the mixer interface is to provide a simple yet powerful API
to applications for audio hardware mixer/volume control. Most soundcards
have hardware mixers, where volume can be changed, they can be muted,
inputs can be modified to mix their content into what will be read from
the device by applications (in our case: audio source plugins). The
mixer interface is the way to control those. The mixer interface can
also be used for volume control in software (e.g. the <quote>volume</quote>
element). The end goal of this interface is to allow development of
hardware volume control applications and for the control of audio volume
and input/output settings.

<para>
The mixer interface requires the <classname>GstImplementsInterface</classname>
interface to be implemented by the element. The example below will
feature both, so it serves as an example for the
<classname>GstImplementsInterface</classname>, too. In the
<classname>GstImplementsInterface</classname>, it is required to set a
function pointer for the <function>supported ()</function> function. If
you don't, this function will always return FALSE (default
implementation) and the mixer interface implementation will not work. For
the mixer interface, the only required function is
<function>list_tracks ()</function>. All other function pointers in the
mixer interface are optional, although it is strongly recommended to set
function pointers for at least the <function>get_volume ()</function> and
<function>set_volume ()</function> functions. The API reference for this
interface documents the goal of each function, so we will limit ourselves
to the implementation here.
