GstPad
Object contained by elements that allows links to other elements
A #GstElement is linked to other elements via "pads", which are extremely
light-weight generic link points.
After two pads are retrieved from an element with gst_element_get_pad(),
the pads can be link with gst_pad_link(). (For quick links,
you can also use gst_element_link(), which will make the obvious
link for you if it's straightforward.)
Pads are typically created from a #GstPadTemplate with
gst_pad_new_from_template().
Pads have #GstCaps attached to it to describe the media type they
are capable of dealing with.
gst_pad_get_caps() and gst_pad_try_set_caps() are used to
manipulate the caps of the pads.
Pads created from a pad template cannot set capabilities that are
incompatible with the pad template capabilities.
Pads without pad templates can be created with gst_pad_new(),
which takes a direction and a name as an argument. If the name is NULL,
then a guaranteed unique name will be assigned to it.
gst_pad_get_parent() will retrieve the #GstElement that owns the pad.
A #GstElement creating a pad will typically use the various
gst_pad_set_*_function() calls to register callbacks for various events
on the pads.
GstElements will use gst_pad_push() and gst_pad_pull() to push out
or pull in a buffer.
gst_pad_select() and gst_pad_selectv() are used by plugins to wait for the
first incoming buffer or event on any of the given set of pads.
To send a #GstEvent on a pad, use gst_pad_send_event().
