GstEvent
Structure describing events that are passed up and down a pipeline
The event classes are used to construct and query events.
Events are usually created with gst_event_new() which takes the event type as an argument.
properties specific to the event can be set afterwards with the provided macros.
The event should be unreferenced with gst_event_unref().
gst_event_new_seek() is a usually used to create a seek event and it takes the
needed parameters for a seek event.
gst_event_new_flush() creates a new flush event.

Get the timestamp of the event.

The different types of seek events. When constructing a seek event a format,
a seek method and optional flags are OR-ed together. The seek event is then
inserted into the graph with #gst_pad_send_event() or #gst_element_send_event().
Following example illustrates how to insert a seek event (1 second in the stream)
in a pipeline.
Insertion of a seek event into a pipeline
gboolean res;
GstEvent *event;
event = gst_event_new_seek (
GST_FORMAT_TIME | /* seek on time */
GST_SEEK_METHOD_SET | /* set the absolute position */
GST_SEEK_FLAG_FLUSH, /* flush any pending data */
1 * GST_SECOND); /* the seek offset (1 second) */
res = gst_element_send_event (GST_ELEMENT (osssink), event);
if (!res) {
g_warning ("seek failed");
}

Increase the refcount of this event
@ev: The event to refcount
Decrease the refcount of an event, freeing it if the refcount reaches 0
@ev: The event to unref
Copy the event using the event specific copy function
@ev: The event to copy
@Returns: A new event that is a copy of the given input event
